Erasmus+ Blended Mobility Program in Computer Science
Since the academic year 2022/23, the Department of Computer Science Education (Informatik und ihre Didaktik) at the Karlsruhe University of Education has been funded to participate in an Erasmus+ ‘blended mobility program’ in cooperation with Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) in Chicago. Blended mobility is a combination of a physical mobility of varying duration and a virtual phase that takes place before, during (accompanying, not as an interruption) or after the physical mobility. The goal is to facilitate collaborative online learning exchange and teamwork.
This blended mobility option is currently limted exclusively to participation for computer science education students.
General information
Students receive EUR 79 per day until the 14th funding day of the mobility activity and EUR 59 per day from the 15th to the 30th day of the mobility activity. In addition, you will receive a one-time travel allowance.
Students will stay in the NEST
Fourth student exchange in Summer 2026
Courses in computer science (Cybersecurity), and courses/workshops in educational technology will be offered at NEIU.
- Virtual participation: May 28th
- Physical participation: July 6th - July 17th
- Info session: December 4th from 11AM to 12AM

Past blended mobilities
Our first edition took place from July 2nd to July 15th with 3 participants.
Courses: Cybersecurity and Algorithms.
The second blended mobility took place in summer 2024 and started with virtual participation for outgoing blended mobility students. This was followed by a physical part of 14 days in July 2024 at the partner institutions to successfully complete the courses, collaborate with local students, and attend the exams of the two courses.

Two courses were offered at NEIU: Cybersecurity and Machine Learning.
- Virtual participation: May 25th
- Physical participation: June 1st - June 14th.
Study in both Germany and the USA without missing any classes
Students of Computer Science Education at the Karlsruhe University of Education can attend the semester of our courses in Germany regularly and combine it with the courses from the USA, even though they will be in the USA for a short period of time in July. Courses at NEIU will be credited in the study of computer science with us.
