A new survey has been launched to gather feedback from higher education professionals who use Erasmus+ digital tools, particularly Erasmus Without Paper. As part of the wider large-scale consultation process, the survey aims to ensure that the digital infrastructure...

The EWP+ consortium is organising a series of national and international events that combine hands‑on training with consultation to support the digitalisation of Erasmus+ processes. These sessions aim to help International Relations Officers and Erasmus coordinators strengthen their practical skills, discuss current challenges, and contribute to shaping upcoming developments.

Higher education professionals are invited to contribute their ideas and analyses on the digitalisation of Erasmus+ processes. Through an open call, the Erasmus Without Paper Consortium is seeking original submissions—such as policy briefs, technical notes, case...

The EWP infrastructure itself only facilitates the exchange of data and does not handle any storage or processing of data. The local handling of these processes takes place in the student information system at the universities.

The call for ESCI Champions for the 2025–2027 period is now open, inviting organisations to apply by 16 May 2025. The initiative recognises higher education institutions and other organisations that have made notable progress in implementing key components of the...

During a recent consultation meeting in Brussels, technical teams working with Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) emphasised the need to consolidate and stabilise the current system before considering introducing new updates or architectural changes. Their main concern is that frequent adjustments could lead to unnecessary costs and disrupt the progress already made toward digitalising mobility processes.

The European Student Card Initiative is progressing toward its goal of having 95% of Learning Agreements completed digitally by 2025, supported by strong engagement from the Erasmus+ community. The initiative aims to simplify mobility administration and improve the experience of mobile students by digitalising internal procedures and strengthening data exchanges across the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) network.

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.

Over the summer, a series of Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) Days were held across Europe to review progress in higher education digitalisation and outline next steps. These events brought together EWP Champions, Digital Officers, and practitioners to discuss the implementation and future direction of the initiative. Sessions included updates from the European Student Card Initiative (ESCI) team and National Agencies, along with discussions on regional challenges and practical recommendations.

Yes! We have also launched the Open Source University Alliance to raise awareness about the potential of sharing the code of student information systems, APIs, and other interesting tools.
