Innovating International Placements Through Virtual Mobility: the EU-VIP project

The European project EU-VIP (Enterprise-University Virtual Placements) looks into the possibilities Virtual Mobility can offer in the area of international work placements. The project partnership started by putting together a framework for organizing virtual(ly supported) work placements. This framework was used to design and implement 18 pilot projects. Based on the results of these pilots the framework is being updated and critical success factors for integrating Virtual Mobility in international work placements are being identified. The final guidelines on how international work placements can be supported and/or facilitated through virtual mobility will be ready and available by fall 2011.
