===Lessons learned===

There are broadly three target groups for on-site VCSE workshops at European universities: educational staff working in the field of sustainable development, educational staff working in other interdisciplinary, internationally-oriented fields and senior-level decision-makers at there universities. As the local contact persons involved in the organization of the on-site workshop were usually educational staff members working in the field of sustainable development, the first target group used to be well-represented. It turned out to be more difficult however, to get the other two target groups in substantial numbers on-board. Senior-level decision-makers – even when supportive - often feel they lack the time to attend such a workshop, and educational staff from other domains have to be well-motivated to cross so many bridges at the same time: to another domain (often another school or faculty as well), to international student mobility, and to e-learning. It is probably better to follow a very targeted approach, with on-site workshops tailored to specific target groups and more narrowly defined objectives (see also Conclusions and discussion).
