@fj The choice of numbers feeds nicely into stereotypes abotu Erasmus: "1.4 mln participants, 1 mln babies". But of course, it is across totally different timeframes ;)

@szewek @fj so the ratio of students to babies is 40:1 or something like that, taking into account two babies per woman and two parents per baby, that means that roughly one in 40 students finds a serious partner during their Erasmus. Not too bad odds, is it?
