Press Release: EU Mobility Scoreboard: more effort needed to promote studies and training abroad for students

On 9 January 2014 the European Commission revealed the key findings of the first EU 'Mobility Scoreboard'. The Scoreboard is part of the Commission's response to a call by Member States to remove obstacles to studying and training abroad as part of wider efforts to help young people gain the skills and experience they need to increase their employability. The Mobility Scoreboard shows that the key factors that influence young people's motivation and ability to study or train abroad vary significantly between Member States.
