A webinar held on 7 March, titled “Erasmus Goes Digital”, brought together DG EAC, DG CNECT, and the European University Foundation to present the long‑term vision for digitalisation within the future Erasmus+ programme. More than 750 institutions from 40 countries participated to understand how the transition from paper‑based to fully digital mobility processes will unfold and how the European Student Card Initiative supports this shift. The session also highlighted that student cards can already carry the European Student Card hologram, helping strengthen a shared European student identity.
Strong Engagement Around the Future of Digital Erasmus+
The event featured high engagement, with hundreds of questions submitted through an interactive platform. The feedback collected will contribute to updated communication tools, including a new FAQ. Participants also took part in live polls and a word‑cloud exercise, which showed strong enthusiasm for the future of digital mobility. The webinar additionally presented opportunities offered by Digital Opportunity Traineeships, which aim to boost digital skills through international placements.
Encouraging Continued Involvement Across the Community
Students and institutional staff were encouraged to learn more about the ongoing digital developments and explore the growing range of tools and initiatives supporting Erasmus+ digitalisation.
