With the European Student Card, students and schools can access all the information necessary to facilitate mobility across Europe, through a simple digital platform.
The European Student Card is an initiative created to help both institutions and higher education students during Erasmus + exchanges. How? Through a centralised digital platform, students and schools can access all the information needed to facilitate mobility across Europe.
Thanks to this platform, the entire administration involved in the Erasmus+ programme is much greener, from the application to the transition of registrations. In this way, this initiative ensures a more simplified mobility administration. For universities and higher education institutions, this digitalisation facilitates all management related to the mobility process, from the selection of students to the recognition of ECTS credits. It also allows them to electronically identify students and exchange/verify student data between institutions.
It allows students to gain immediate access to the services of the host university, in addition to finding discounts on cultural activities throughout the European Union.
The European Student Card initiative has three basic components:
European Student Card
The European Student Card provides a common European identity for higher education students. The card has several features that together make it easier to verify the status of students in all Erasmus+ programme countries.
The European Student Card is executed through a centralised digital platform called “EC-Router”. In this way, it is not a new student card, but takes advantage of existing student cards, physical or digital. On the other hand, higher education institutions can have all the specific data of student cards centralised.
For students, there are also important benefits, since, with it, they can more easily access all the services offered by the host educational institution. This aims to improve your Erasmus experience and create a sense of belonging to the European higher education community.
The goal by 2025 is for the largest number of students to benefit from this card.
Erasmus+ application
It was created to be the entry point for students to the Erasmus+ programme. The aim is to facilitate the exchange, sharing information about the services that students may need for their experience in a new country. Students themselves can also share tips and recommendations to help future students in their exchange experiences.
For their part, higher education institutions can share events, offers, as well as any other useful information for students.
Erasmus without paper
The main objective of the Erasmus Without Paper initiative is to facilitate mobility management more efficiently and thus enable institutions to exchange information on the mobility of their students quickly and safely.
In this way, it replaces all the administrative practices that are still being done on paper, with online procedures.
On the other hand, it seeks to use and contribute to a free public infrastructure that benefits all higher education institutions in the EU.
The European Student Card is a major step forward on the road to a European Education Area.
