Spanish term or phrase: movilidades
"De la colaboración en este programa, se pretende que surjan nuevas líneas de colaboración para el establecimiento de titulaciones dobles, programas formativos conjuntos, realización de movilidades que incluyan estudiantes, etc".

And (heading) "Resumen de las movilidades"

I realise this is about exchange programmes and students studying abroad under Erasmus type programmes, but how to translate "movilidades"?

Many thanks for any help.

mobilities
Explanation:

The website below mentions the plural "mobilities"

https://www.erasmusplus.org.uk/apply-for-higher-education-st...

In 2018, over €76 million was awarded to UK higher education institutions (HEIs) for over 28,000 student and staff mobilities. The 2019 Call for applications is now open. Funding is available for higher education mobilities across the world:

For mobilities within Partner countries, please visit the Higher Education Student and Staff Mobility between Programme and Partner Countries - International Credit Mobility page.
For mobilities within Programme countries, please read the information below.

https://www.ethz.ch/en/studies/non-degree-courses/exchange-a...

https://www.britishcouncil.org/education/ihe/what-we-do/inte...

https://wun.ac.uk/mobility.html

I guess, if you're not convinced by the word "mobilities" (ie plural) then possibly "mobility opportunities" , "mobility activities" , "mobility schemes" , or " mobility programmes/programs". Note that mobility schemes gets hits for schemes involving transport for those lacking mobility (ie mobility scooters and the like)

Thanks again for your help. I can't bring myself to enter the word "mobilities" into the Kudoz open glossary so have plumped for your other (very helpful) suggestions!

Logistics


Explanation:
I agree that it references a student exchange program
However, the phrase "movilidades que incluyan estudiantes" leads me to believe that the term is referring to the actual movement process ("de estudiantes"), which includes the students. It may include travel arrangements, housing, and even professors or any other support staff who may assist with the exchange program.

Example sentence(s):
  • Logistics activities which include students.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you very much Billhill, for such a comprehensive response. Mobilities seems such an ugly and unnatural word (and must surely be something that was once badly translated) but appears to have now become the 'correct' word... It is going to jar with me to use it, so I might opt for one of your very helpful suggestions ("mobility opportunities", "mobility activities", or "mobility programmes"). Thanks again!
