Abstract	"The strong political efforts to enhance - the predominantly short-term - student mobility within Europe have for a Jong time not even triggered any efforts to measure the magnitude of mobility. Until recently, international statistics have only provided information on foreign students and study abroad, and the Intention was even to exclude temporary mobility. On the basis of incomplete information, it is possible to estimate that three-quarters of foreign students are not mobile, but have instead lived and learned in the country of study already prior to study. About one-tenth of mobile students have lived and learned somewhere else and study in the country of their citizenship. The weakness of statistics has partly been due to the vague policy criteria. In the meantime, it is clear that the experience of having studied in another country during the course of one's study is the major European policy objective. Accordingly, one can estimate that more than 10 percent of recent graduates have been mobile during the course of their study, more than twice as many by means other than those by ERASMUS, and several times as many through short-term mobility than through studying a whole study program abroad. Information on the impact of the outwards mobility of European students is more solid. Notably, evaluation studies Show that former ERASMUS students are only slightly superior in general and specific academic competencies and in their general career, but clearly better prepared for visibly international talks and for international professional mobility. In order to enhance the information base on the magnitude and impact of the outwards mobility of European students, regular European-wide graduate surveys are needed that include a relatively large number of respondents in order to provide the opportunity of comparing the studies and careers of mobile and non-mobile students."
