This set of policy recommendations stems from the conclusions on policies of higher education institutions for inter-institutional partnerships. They mainly target policy makers at European, national and institutional level. The eQuATIC project is based on the initial efforts of Ghent University to strengthen their decision-making process for inter-institutional partners for student mobility based on data. Through a pilot project co-funded by the Flemish Ministry of Higher Education, the project developed, in cooperation with multiple Flemish Higher Education Institutions, an analysis tool for the quality of partnerships and allowed the abovementioned consortium to learn both from the research data presented in this paper, as well as from the practical experiences of the pilot project.
