Provisionally titled The Erasmus Programme and European Identity, the thesis aims at better understanding the relationship between participation in academic mobility programmes under the Erasmus Programme and the development of a "European identity", exploring both European and non-European geographical contexts. Based on three main conceptual axes: "youth mobility experiences", "European identity" and "social interactions", his research seeks to contribute to the growing literature on international student migration (ISM) and the impacts of the Erasmus Programme.
