IAU participates in European Union Projects such as Erasmus+ Student and Staff Mobility Programmes. However, our work is not limited to these. We argue that education and course creation are essential. In addition, we want to diversify the use of our cultures and traditions in the clinic. In addition, our professional team has been involved in such projects and is eager to participate and communicate with our colleagues on other partner teams about potential problems and outcomes.

We will be one of the partners of the project. In this role, we will complete the project and delivered on schedule, required to obtain the best quality outputs possible. Istanbul Aydın University’s role in the project is related with its capacity to train national and international students from the health sector in İstanbul, as well as its experience in conducting research pilot studies.​ We will also work on the production of some of the intellectual outputs: we will define the course contents and their structure, registering them; we will define the learning activities to be prepared and the ways of reviewing their quality. We’ll be also active in translating the courses into Turkish. Finally, we will support the creation and organisation of the webinars that will take place during the MovE Project, for the duration of one week in Istanbul.
