umbrella organization of network was formally established as European University Foundation – Campus Europae, to which degree-awarding powers were bestowed upon in the same year. In 2009, the Campus Europae online language-learning portal was launched and in 2010 the online database of ex-ante equivalences made available to its exchange students, while the Rectors appointed Prof. Estela Pereira as mobility Ombudswoman. In 2011, the Luxembourg Forum and "Ride for Your Rights!" initiatives were launched while in the following year the first 1000 CE exchange students milestone was reached; additionally, the first two Campus Europae Summer Schools took place, while in 2013 the new Erasmus+ Programme embraced one of the founding notions of Campus Europae – that students should be able to study abroad more than once during their academic careers - also echoing the need for a greater emphasis on language learning and academic recognition. Student Mobility The chief objective of the Campus Europae project is to foster the notion of Europe's ‘unity in diversity’ and contribute to the development of a shared sense of European identity. Its exchange students are afforded opportunities to develop a comprehensive understanding of learning and working cultures in various European regions. The pillars of student exchange in Campus Europae are: Length of mobility period Students exchanged under the aegis of Campus Europae go abroad for a full academic year. This is a cornerstone of the program because exchanges that last only one academic semester afford much less contact with the host society, limiting the potential for cultural learning. Furthermore, Campus Europae students are encouraged to spend two academic years abroad in two different countries where different languages are spoken. Recognition of studies The network aims at ensuring that all the students it exchanges receive full recognition of their studies abroad. This is rendered possible by the work of the Subject Committees, which regularly convene faculty representatives across the network, who in turn devise mobility pathways for their students. Language Learning Campus Europae advocates mobility with a strong emphasis on cultural understanding and multilingualism. Accordingly, the network offers its students support in learning the language of the host country at least up to the B1 level (of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). CE Degree Students who have studied abroad with Campus Europae for two full academic years, earned (at least) a B1 certificate in the languages of their host institutions and had a
