At a meeting hosted at the TBS Education campus in Toulouse, EWP Champions discussed practical ways to advance Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) and the wider European Student Card Initiative (ESCI). Participants agreed that the session marked clear progress toward making student mobility more efficient and accessible. The group focused on strengthening the adoption of digital Learning Agreements and promoting the once‑only data entry principle, which aims to reduce repetitive administrative work for students and institutions.
Peer Exchange on Everyday Workflow Challenges
Through a World Café‑style format, participants explored common challenges that hinder wider use of digital Learning Agreements, such as continued reliance on paper forms, premature exchange of documents, and inconsistent requests across university faculties. The discussions generated concrete ideas to help institutions reach the goal of having 95% of Learning Agreements exchanged digitally by the end of 2025.
From Learning Agreements to Integrated Mobility Processes
The afternoon sessions examined how to streamline mobility workflows for the next Erasmus+ programme phase. Topics included improving institutional profiles, linking nominations to inter‑institutional agreements, simplifying Learning Agreement processes, and enhancing the Erasmus+ App to better support students. Each group shared recommendations that will inform the future development of ESCI tools and infrastructure.
Strengthening Collaboration Across Institutions
The meeting concluded with presentations summarising key insights and strategies to strengthen peer‑learning among higher education institutions. Participants highlighted the importance of collaboration in advancing digital mobility and reaffirmed the role of EWP in supporting the broader goal of making student mobility across Europe more inclusive, seamless, and user‑friendly.
