15 What´s the benefit for the students?
... Fínsko je síce chladná krajina, no Fíni (samozrejme aj Fínky) určite nie. Snažili sa nám uľahčiť chvíle na novom pracovisku, ale aj spríjemniť pobyt rôznymi akciami. Perfektne zorganizovaná činnosť tamojšieho a nášho zahraničného oddelenia nás ušetrila mnohých organizačných problémov. Skúste a uvidíte. Iste oceníte. Tak ako my.  JÁN KOŠUTH, ZUZANA BABINCOVÁ, Ústav biologických a ekologických vied ... Neváhajte, hľadajte a skúšajte!!! Bola by škoda nevyužiť šance dnešných možností. A nečakajte na posledné ročníky svojho štúdia!!! Skúste to hneď. Trochu viac sebavedomia, aj keď si myslíte, že Vaša jazyková úroveň nie je dostatočná na takýto pobyt. Ja som bola veľmi spokojná. SILVIA KOČANOVÁ, Ústav fyzikálnych vied ... Škoda len, že Friedrich Schliller Univestität nie je u nás. Preto, ak ste sa rozhodli študovať v zahraničí v programe Socrates/Erasmus, Vám túto univerzitu s veľkým U len a len odporúčam.Veď aj Pavol Jozef Šafárik či Ľudovít Štúr študovali v Jene. Prečo by ste to nemohli byť aj vy? ERIKA JANKAJOVÁ, Ústav chemických vied ... My sami sme neváhali odložiť štátnice.A zabudnúť na promócie, a v piatom ročníku sme využili poskytnutú možnosť študovať pol roka na University of Crete v gréckom Iraklione. Veríme, že ani jeden z nás neľutuje. ....Koľko krát si bol na Erasmus pobyte, toľkokrát si človek... MIRIAM HUDÁKOVÁ, ĽUBOMÍR MÜLLER, TOMÁŠ ONDREJČÁK, Ústav biologických a ekologických vied (

Šafárik University in Košice, University of Rzesow and University of Godollo ... and to increase student mobility up to 50 % !

19 PROBLEMS TO BE OVERCOME
Academic coordinators should better inform the students about all Erasmus activities during the whole academic year Programme of the study abroad should be precisely prepared according to ECTS of the host University Erasmus students should have opportunity to share experience with students from other universities in the city (Košice Erasmus Party is preparing ...) All administrative tasks should move to IRO of the University Better conditions for incoming students should be set; essential role of home students in organisation of their study period Mobility of teachers is not sufficient
