Arqus MoVEs Opens New Virtual Exchange Opportunities for Students

The seventh edition of Arqus MoVEs invites students to take part in a virtual exchange programme designed to support international mobility, intercultural learning and multilingual communication. Applications are open until 31 October.

The programme is aimed particularly at students preparing for an international mobility experience in the spring or summer semester of the 2026–27 academic year, as well as those who have not yet had the opportunity to study abroad but would like to connect with other students in an international environment.

Arqus MoVEs brings together participants from different academic disciplines, cultures, languages and backgrounds. Through collaborative online activities, students will have opportunities to develop intercultural and global competencies, strengthen communication and digital skills, practise different languages and build confidence before an international mobility experience.

The programme combines larger multilingual group exchanges with smaller collaborative activities. Participants will explore topics related to culture, language and everyday life while working with students from across the Arqus European University Alliance.

The first stage of the programme consists of three meetings focusing on topics such as food, music and language, helping participants prepare for intercultural experiences abroad. A second set of three meetings will explore more complex and thought-provoking themes. Students can complete the first stage and then decide whether they would like to continue with the second.

Places are limited, and participants will be selected based on their motivation and previous experience. More information and registration here.
