Policy REcommendations to Maximise the beneficial Impact of Unexplored Mobilities in and beyond the European Union (PREMIUM_EU)
Project duration: 01.04.2023 – 31.03.2026
Project coordinator: Prof. Dr. Alanur Çavlin
Project Summary
PREMIUM_EU will develop a Regional Policy Dashboard (RPD) for policy makers in vulnerable regions to help them formulate policies to use the potential of mobility to enhance regional inclusive growth and wellbeing. It is an evidence based tool, where policy makers are offered tailor-made selections of policies that reflect the mobility and regional development profiles of their region.
The dashboard contains three modules (sub-objectives), that contain state of the art EU-wide regional qualitative and quantitative information: a Mobility Module (MM), a Regional Development Effects Module (RDEM), and a Policy Module (PM).
The conditions that are favorable both for migrants and the receiving country need to be understood and policies should be implemented to foster the benefits of mobility.
- Beyond-EU mobility(moves from outside Europe into Europe), thereby focusing on the destination region,
- EU-mobility (international moves within Europe), and
- Internal mobilitywithin countries.
Mobility may be short or long term, with short term mobility encompassing stays at the destination of at least three months, such as seasonal mobility, student mobility and short-term work-related mobility.

Hacettepe University Engages in International Collaboration through the ECHO Model
Project ECHO: The Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) Training Program for Sustainable Cities, jointly implemented by Hacettepe University and Eskişehir Technical University, was launched as part of the EU Erasmus+-funded EPD-Net (Ecological Planning and Design Network) Project.
Aiming to strengthen ecological planning approaches for disaster-resilient and sustainable cities, the program was successfully completed with high participation, based on the ECHO model.
Led by Eskişehir Technical University, the program was carried out in collaboration with Hacettepe University and international partners.
