We live in an age of global knowledge, with rapid advances in science and technology and acceleration in learning. We also live in an age of profound need for more cohesive and inclusive societies which allow citizens to play an active role in democratic life, thus fostering social integration, and enhancing intercultural understanding. It is through education and training that that nowadays societies and individuals can play a decisive role tackling socio-economic changes and other key challenges. The labour market accompanies these changes, requiring professionals to be able to interact in a global setting. Furthermore, some particular skills are increasingly viewed as major soughtafter assets: intercultural skills, global awareness, foreign language(s) expertise, interconnected networking, lifelong learning, tolerance and constant adaptability. The Erasmus+ is the European Union's programme that invests in knowledge, skills and competences that will benefit individuals, organisations and society as a whole by ensuring equity, prosperity and social inclusion. This programme is also an effective instrument for personal fulfilment. The present report aims at providing a summary of the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Programme developed at The Saint Petersburg State University (SPbU) from 13th May to 17th May 2019. It offers a brief description of the city, the university and the Library, together with an account of the main activities undertaken at the M. Gorky Scientific Library.
