The document discusses projects relating to promoting European higher education on a global scale and improving accessibility and mobility for international students. It summarizes findings from the VICTORIOUS project's final report, noting that university information provision for visiting students is generally weak and not tailored to their needs. The document proposes creating a university satellite to collect and distribute formal information systematically and an interactive university galaxy to collect informal student experiences to better support international student mobility and promote the European Higher Education Area.

visiting students is weak. It is hard to find, often in the
local language and there is insufficient focus on the
needs of the visiting students.”
