Analysis of the Mobility Flows within the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme at Sapienza University of Rome

According to the last Erasmus+ Annual Report (2019a), the official document about data and statistics on mobility edited by the European Commission, almost 10 million people enjoyed the Erasmus programme during the last three decades. This number is also composed by all the students that, starting from year 2015, have taken advantage of the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) that is a specific programme which aims to promote international mobility of European students and staff to and from non-EU partner countries. On this basis, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze data about ICM programme at Sapienza University of Rome, the largest University in Europe. Data will be analyzed in a longitudinal view and will consider both demographic variables (i.e., gender, age of the student at the beginning of the experience abroad, home university) and academic career’s variables (i.e., exams’ marks and the credits obtained).
