- 11:30 am – 12:00 pm Student mobility is blooming, but are the study administrative systems keeping up? Mobility is a keyword in the new European digital landscape. Students and staff should be able to cross borders, both physically and digitally but it is equally important that the study administrative systems can be interoperable and manage the flow of student related data seamlessly.
