The group has 40 years of experience in mobility, being partially started by a visiting professor, Prof. Naim Afgan, at that time at Vinca Institute in Belgrade, and now at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon. Since then, the group has always given importance to mobility, on the receiving as well as sending side. The most important cooperation in mobility it has with Instituto Superior Tecnico, which is bidirectional, and with Imperial College, which is also bidirectional. Also, there is cooperation with AVL Company from Graz, which includes trainings for some PhD students. Especially important dimension is on student level, in which students are encouraged to spend time in internships and study visits in foreign institutions, while the group is receiving at least one foreign student per year, and cooperation with the student organisations IAESTE and BEST. The group has always support a work of the Local BEST group Zagreb with providing them a technical or logistic support, particularly for the international courses, LBG trainings and the project Jamboree2002.

The role of FSB-UZ relates to the following: to carry out the Mapping Exercise in Croatia for the identification of national links related to mobility that could enrich the European Mobility Portal, to participate in the awareness campaign part of which is the organization of 2 workshops in Croatia, to implement a mobility legislation review in the Country and to prepare a mobility country report.

The key researchers to be involved with the project are as follows:
