Testimonials from Administrative Staff

Comillas Pontifical University (Spain)

Why did you choose to take a virtual course at a partner university?
I wanted to improve my English while broadening my horizons by taking a course unrelated to my degree at my home university.

Three reasons why other students should also do a virtual exchange?
1) Get to know a new university with different structures and teaching methods.
2) Improve language skills in English or another European language.
3) Experience multinational exchange with students and lecturers.

What surprised you about your host country or university?
How well or poorly the Spanish Navy dealt with accidents.

Something interesting that you learned about the host country or institution?
How crucial effective crisis communication is in avoiding further damage to your company or organization.

— Thomas Golombeck (Justus Liebig University Giessen, 2026)

University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

What was your favourite place during your mobility?
The Yellow Fortress in Sarajevo: A beautiful view over the city, very picturesque, and a man proposed to his future wife right next to us (she said “yes”).

What did you enjoy most about your mobility experience?
Meeting our colleagues in person, discussing and clarifying our topics together, learning about BiH history and culture, especially in Sarajevo and Mostar.

What surprised you about your host country or university?
I was not surprised, but the hospitality and friendliness of every single person we have met during our stay was extraordinary and very welcoming.

Any advice for future mobility students?
If you have a personal contact in BiH, let them show you their country! Our former exchange student showed us her Sarajevo, it was the best day!

— Sigrid Jost, Coordinator for Erasmus+ and mobility worldwide at the Justus Liebig University Giessen, 2026

Over the past year, the multilateral collaboration in the EUPeace consortium has fostered a vibrant exchange of ideas and cultures, already enhancing potential for mobility among partner institutions that empower students, faculty, and administrative staff alike.

— Alicia Llamas, Staff at Comillas Pontifical University, 2024

University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

What was your favourite place during your mobility?
Walking through Baščaršija and absorbing the impressions. The team at the University of Sarajevo also organized a city tour for us, which provided very interesting information and historical context.

What did you enjoy most about your mobility experience?
Networking with other international colleagues, expanding my knowledge, and gaining new impressions and ideas.

What surprised you about your host country or university?
I felt very welcome, and it was deeply meaningful for me to experience the EUPeace alliance and its significance through active participation in the program.

Any advice for colleagues considering a mobility opportunity?
I highly recommend taking part in a mobility program: it is a valuable experience that impacts your professional work, expands your international network, and fosters personal growth by broadening your horizons.

— Melina Opitz, Administration staff at the Marburg University, 2026

Comillas Pontifical University, Spain

What was your favourite place during your mobility?
My favorite place during my stay in Madrid was the Plaza de la Armería next to the Royal Palace of Madrid. We ended our walking tour of Madrid there. The sun was setting, there was music playing, families with kids who were running around and playing catch, friends hanging out. I loved this place and returned to it a couple of times during my evening walks.

What did you enjoy most about your mobility experience?
I truly appreciate the chance I had to exchange ideas and best-practices with alliance colleagues who work in similar projects and/or areas.

What surprised you about your host country or university?
It wasn’t a surprise because I was anticipating it already. Everyone we met was very hospitable and warm.

— Nikoleta Ioannidou, International Student Advisor/Staff Week Participants at the Marburg University, 2026

University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

What was your favourite place during your mobility?
Stari Most

What did you enjoy most about your mobility experience?
Meeting faculty, staff, students, and partners from around Europe.

What surprised you about your host country or university?
Most striking for me was the campus in Mostar: a city with historical layers and cultural diversity. Mostar offers a vibrant student culture, impressive historical landmarks, and a central location in the region. This combination creates an inspiring environment for research and exchange.
