This iSchools virtual mobility program enables students at participating iSchools in Europe to cross national boundaries, develop intercultural competence, and participate in exciting programs specifically tailored for the online environment. Back to EU Region Virtual Student Exchange Please note: The virtual exchange program is paused for 2025. This iSchools virtual mobility program enables students at participating iSchools in Europe to cross national boundaries, develop intercultural competence, and participate in exciting programs specifically tailored for the online environment. Developed in response to the COVID pandemic, the program has the added benefit of eliminating the financial barriers of travel and local housing costs; students will pay no additional fees beyond their normal home-school tuition. The program complements the European Erasmus program, and credits will transfer seamlessly across participating schools. We believe this program will help build a cadre of students who have studied together at multiple schools, thereby bringing a broad European perspective to information science. The virtual exchange program is currently intended for master’s-level students at the following participating iSchools. Current Exchange Courses Students can use the table to view exchange courses currently offered at each participating institution.

iCaucus Members Directory University of California, Irvine Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences iCaucus United States of America North America Member Since 2005 Visit School About By establishing the University of California's first computer science school in 2002, UC Irvine made an investment in the future that reflects its historical commitment to raising the bar of excellence. From pioneering computer science courses more than three decades ago to the creation of the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS), UCI continues to be an institute that leads information technology education and research across the globe. ICS began as a department in 1968. More than 35 years later, it was formally recognized as a school — and in June 2004, the School adopted benefactor Donald Bren's name in recognition of his generous contribution and visionary leadership. As an independent school focused solely on the computer and information sciences, ICS has a unique perspective on the information technology disciplines that allows us a broad foundation from which to build educational programs and research initiatives that explore the many applications of the computing discipline — from circuits and systems to software engineering and human aspects of computing. Building on our strong foundation of computer science fundamentals, ICS conducts cutting-edge research in strategic areas ideal for collaborative work. By blending research with education in multiple disciplines, the Bren School is leading interdisciplinary efforts in order to meet the challenges of the future. iSchool Contacts Marios Papaefthymiou Dean of School Computer Science Contact Contact Contact
