EWP

With the findings from the Interoperability Reinforcement Plan in our backpack, the EWP+ consortium looks ahead. At the same time, we keep working to make sure no institution is left behind in implementing digital inter-institutional agreements and learning agreements. What’s on the horizon for EWP in 2023 and 2024? Find out more.

On this page you will find presentations, recordings, and more from past events as well as some key EWP-documents.

In 2022, we welcomed more than 11,500 participants during seven EWP Erasmus Goes Digital webinars and two EWP Town Hall sessions. We have good news, we welcome everyone to new EWP webinars and Town Hall sessions at the start of the 2023-2024 academic year. We will host two sessions on Thursday 14 September, with more to come in the months after.

The Erasmus Without Paper project plays a central role in the European Commission’s European Student Card Initiative, a key initiative of the European Education Area.

To be able to support all EWP users experiencing interoperability issues, you can now add a ticket via the ESCI Community Service Desk.

After years of work by teams across Europe, 2022 was the year in which the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) became a concrete reality. Many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) transitioned to digitally exchange Inter-Institutional Agreements and Learning Agreements. In this article, we will look back at the main accomplishments of the past year.

When dealing with the online renewal of inter-institutional agreements (IIAs) and learning agreements (LAs,) you have definitely wondered: what tool is my partner using. A new service developed by the EWP+ Consortium now unlocks this information.

The Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) initiative promises Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to exchange information in the context of student mobility swiftly and securely. To do this, it uses digital technology to pave the way to manage mobilities more efficiently. But what does this mean? And how does it work? Let’s look under the hood of the EWP Network at one of the core components, the so-called Application Programming Interfaces, shortly referred to as APIs.

The EWP+ consortium will organise a second Town Hall meeting on the 18th of October at 14:00 CEST.

A recent Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) Assessment Report confirms that the system is functioning more effectively than in the previous year, with most technical issues resolved. However, some software providers still fail to fully meet EWP standards, which can lead to occasional problems—particularly with inter‑institutional agreement (IIA) exchanges.

Achieving full interoperability—where all higher education systems can seamlessly exchange machine‑readable data for inter‑institutional and learning agreements—remains a key goal for the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) Network. To reach this objective, the European Commission and the EWP Consortium launched the Interoperability Reinforcement Plan, targeting issues raised by stakeholders and strengthening the foundations needed for smooth digital exchanges.
