  3. Erasmus and EHEA Student Mobility in Times of the European Economic Crisis Summary & Conclusions The findingsshow that the majority of the current Erasmus teacher training generation studying in Austria thinks positively about being a European citizen. European identity in the case of Erasmus teacher training students is positively linked to the diversity of the European countries, to common European citizenship and human rights as well as to a better integration of European citizens and interrelated understanding although there is intercultural diversity. Around half of the mobile students state that they feel the effects of the crisis concerning their private life as well as their studies and more than three quarters of the participants are afraid of the crisis. Increasing unemployment, less salary and less money for living, fewer grants for students and more expensive studies are the most common reasons. International Office | Bauer & Kreuz, 2015
