WISHES (Erasmus mundus project)
Encyclopedia
WISHES stands for Web-based Information Service for Higher Education Students (WISHES). As a European Project run by nine European institutions WISHES centrally promotes European work and study offers for students worldwide by means of a user-driven web-based information portal.
Based on the expressed needs of over 4.000 students, this WISHES web-portal centralizes information and creates profiles of European higher education institutions (HEIs) and employment bodies, tailored to Bologna
and Lisbon parameters.
Backed up with a powerful and diverse supporting network consisting of more than 100 HEIs, European associations and networks, as well as with the support of various national agencies, Rector's Conferences and the European Commission, WISHES offers its services to three main target groups: Students worldwide, higher education institutions and enterprises
.
s:
Students – students of universities and colleges worldwide interested in studying or working abroad. Additionally, WISHES also targets pupils searching for higher abroad. Close cooperation with student associations are currently set up (such as with the Erasmus Student Network
or the European Medical Students Association).
Higher education institutions – Universities, Colleges, Academic Associations, Educational Networks, European Network, and other higher education institutions
based in the Bologna signatory countries
are eligible to present themselves and their offers in WISHES. Concretely WISHES targets persons responsible for international affairs such as vice rectors for international relations and international officers.
Enterprisers – employment bodies, members of professional associations, and companies based in the Bologna signatory states
looking for ways to reach international students and recent graduates worldwide.
, Czech Republic Michael Steinmann and Ricardo Dores came up with the idea of creating one web portal
centrally presenting all relevant information about living and learning in the Erasmus Universities
throughout Europe.
Due to their huge commitment and achieved early support by various universities, their idea grew rapidly : Presentations on diverse international conferences were followed by an invitation from Alan Smith to present the idea behind WISHES in the Directorate General of Education and Culture (DG EAC)
of the European Commission
in Brussels
in April 2007.
Supported by the University of Paderborn
, Michael Steinmann and Prof. Dr. Leena Suhl submitted in 2008 a project proposal within the Action 4 of the Erasmus Mundus
Programme to enhance the attractiveness of higher in Europe. Subsequently in October 2008, WISHES has been approved by the European Commission
(Agreement No. 2008-2457 / 001 – 001 MUN MUNATT), and was kicked of in December 2008.
In 2009 three major WISHES surveys have been carried out to lay solid grounds for the future WISHES mobility portal: Within these surveys 600 higher education institutions, 100 enterprises
and 4 000 students stated their wishes concerning a central source of information concerning European study and work options. Additionally, to further promote the project's idea, WISHES has in 2009 been presented within various major European conferences on higher education mobility: The ERACON Conference 2009 (29 April – 3 May 2009, Nicosia
, Cyprus) and the EAIE Conference 2009 (16th – 19 September, Madrid
, Spain).
In May 2010 the WISHES mobility portal was launched for higher education institutions
during the WISHES Networking days (NWD 2010) in Essen
, Germany. Since June 2010 European higher education institutions
have been enabled to prepare their presentations in WISHES for the launch of WISHES for students worldwide in September 2010.
