Structure & Content

The five design focus areas can guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of mobility structures and practices at your institution.

Each focus area contains several design principles. These principles are formulated as recommendations and include a description, the underlying need or challenge it addresses, and examples of how it could be operationalized in practice. The principles are not intended as prescriptive rules but as adaptable guidelines to support institutions in shaping meaningful and inclusive mobility experiences.
