Have you heard of “Exchange your mug”?
It’s a tradition for UTBM students studying abroad to exchange an UTBM mug for one from the university they’re visiting. Also, if you stop by the reception area at the UTBM campus in Sévenans, you might see the trophy case filled with mugs from all over the world.

The latest update has just been shared with us from the New University of Lisbon (FCT NOVA) by Perrine Schwob, Mathieu Naud, and Mathias Bonnet, students in the Industrial Systems program.
They are available to tell you about their experience and discuss “saudade,” the quintessentially Portuguese feeling they experience when reflecting on the past semester.
