Student, teaching and non-teaching staff mobility is a fundamental aspect
of internationalization in Higher Education in Europe. There have been several
programmes that support mobility, in and outside the European context, such
as the Erasmus+ programme. However, mobility is not the single expression
of internationalization. Cooperation, joint degrees, intensive programmes for
language learning, among others, contribute to a more open, solid and high
quality education.
This article describes the process followed in the organization of short-term
teacher mobility in the scope of the Erasmus programme, with the intention of
providing valuable learning experiences to students of the destination HEI. This
happened in 2014, and refers to the experience as a visiting lecturer in a master’s
degree in computer science. The experience was jointly planned and discussed
with the degree coordinator, to provide adequate curricular integration.
