Does Erasmus+ Mobility Involving Universities from the EU’s Eastern Border Play a Role in the Contouring of Cross-Border Academic Communities?

Summary/Abstract: The current research is aimed at evaluating the potential of student and academic mobility undertaken at universities from the CBC area (at the EU‟s Eastern border) in fostering the formation of cross-border academic communities. In order to reach the set objectives, following a brief presentation of the Erasmus+ mobility programme and its particularities for the countries from the Eastern Partnership, we have structured our research in five major directions, analysing the Erasmus+ mobility and of jointly developed projects between universities from the EU‟s Eastern border: firstly assessing the Romania-Republic of Moldova, then the Romania-Ukraine, the Poland-Ukraine, Poland-Belarus, and finally the Poland-Hungary-Slovakia-Ukraine nexus. As measurable outputs we took into consideration the existence of collaboration agreements, mobility schemes and the frequency of mobility, the number of jointly organized scientific events and commonly developed CBC projects.
