Virtual mobility and communication over ubiquitous ICT channels is already having a significant share in modern businessand industrial activities. Collaboration in dislocated, virtual teams, where team members have never met in person arecommon, daily-based activities in every larger international corporation. Due to number of various reasons, this is still nota common practice in traditional academic institutions. Large majority of subjects are still taught ex-cathedra as they weredecades and centuries ago. While there is still important value in this conservative approach, it is nonetheless important togive students an experience and knowledge necessary for kick-start their careers. In this paper we present an approach forvirtual collaboration and mobility in order to facilitate modern dislocated new product development process anddemonstrate its value on two cases of industrial projects, which were realised by international and multidisciplinaryteams of students from four different European universities.
