Abstract
Since the early months of 2020, COVID-19 has had a profound impact
on societies, transforming social, economic and political life throughout
the European Union. This resulted in dramatic change in a central aspect
of life for many Europeans: the freedom to circulate between countries
for non-essential purposes, including tertiary education. This loss has
created problems for EU citizens and others from third-party countries,
who have found themselves cut off from essential support or the means
to return home in a safe and timely manner. In this chapter, we take a look
at this situation, with our research questions considering some of the
most prominent impacts of the pandemic on internationalised learning
for both intra-EU exchange students and extra-EU educational migrants.
To illustrate the emerging challenges, we have conducted research with
international students in Portugal during the initial months of the public
health emergency, from which we were able to identify issues that may be of
concern to researchers, stakeholders and policymakers in the mobility field.
