International mobility, wellbeing and the culture of an inclusive campus in the BEST network & INGENIUM Alliance

For 12 days, 26 students from 11 countries and 14 universities, both from within and outside the INGENIUM Alliance, have come together at the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iași, under the framework of the international symposium BEST – International Symposium, “Empowered Diversity: International Mobility, Wellbeing and Inclusive Campus Cultures”.

BEST

In an ever more interconnected Europe, but marked by visible socio-economic disparities, access to student mobility programmes often remains a privilege restricted by invisible barriers. To identify solutions for these challenges, the Local Group BEST Iași, alongside the ’’Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iași (TUIASI), as a partner of the event, has organized the 2026 edition of BEST Iași Symposium (BIS) – an international event of academic debate held during the period of 11-22 July 2026.

The international Romania: interdisciplinarity and diversity

The symposium has changed the university’s campus into a veritable laboratory of ideas. The central theme of this year’s edition was inclusive mobility programs, the way in which programmes like Erasmus+ can become truly accessible for all students, no matter where they come from.

A remarkable characteristic of this edition was the synergy between highly varied fields: from engineering, biotechnology and law, to psychotherapy, acting and international relations. This diversity of perspectives has allowed tackling academic mobility not just as an educational opportunity , but also as a complex mechanism of social integration and personal development.

From theory to real change: the three pillars of the research

The strategic aims of the symposium were anchored directly in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) established by the UN:

  • Equitable access and diversity (SDG 10 & SDG 5) – identifying the financial, structural, linguistic, and informational barriers that limit access to mobility programs for disadvantaged students;
  • Innovation, employability, and decent work (SDG 4, 8 & 9) – analyzing the role of international mobility in the transition to the labor market, internships, master's-level mobility, and the protection of students' rights as temporary workers;
  • Inclusive campus culture and well-being (SDG 11 & 17) – exploring how universities, NGOs, and the private sector can collaboratively build a support ecosystem for mobile students, ranging from well-being and academic recognition to strategic partnerships.
