Open Virtual Mobility (openVM) is a European strategic partnership dedicated to creating accessible opportunities for achievement of virtual mobility skills to ensure higher uptake of virtual mobility in higher education in Europe and is funded under the European Erasmus+ Program. Virtual Mobility (VM) has a great potential to contribute to the internationalisation, innovation and inclusion in higher education. The barriers to physical mobility of educators and students such as high costs, socio-economic, political and health-related issues, can be dramatically reduced by adding the virtual component to mobility and, making mobility accessible to all!
The Faculty of Educational Sciences delivered a.o. the conceptual framework and guidelines, competence framework, organises multiplier event, develops and implements MOOCs.

The key outcome of the openVM project is the Virtual Mobility Learning Hub for achievement, assessment and recognition of virtual mobility skills as a central reference point. The VM Learning Hub applies innovative tools and methods (such as open credentials, evidence-based assessment and matching algorithms for learning groups) and provides a set of open educational resources (OER), a massive online learning course (MOOC) and guidelines to support the the design, implementation and participation in virtual mobility in higher education.
