  1. The Erasmus Without Paper Project Third Annual Groningen Declaration Network Meeting 7-9 April 2014 Washington DC

  2. Erasmus without paper Context and problem area • More and more HEI students in Europe now do part of their studies abroad as exchange students (study periods and placements) • Erasmus+ is Europe’s new mobility programme 2014-2021, and is now going global • Large amounts of student data need to be exchanged in the process • Even though most of it is stored electronically, the exchange of data is still largely paper-based

  3. Erasmus without paper Documents to be stamped and signed • Bilateral agreement • Application form • Nominations • Learning agreement and change form(s!) including student data and course catalogue data • Transcript of Records • Diploma supplements • Arrival/Departure certificates • Institutional key data

  4. Erasmus without paper Student data repositories • Student Information Systems (SIS) • International (Exchange) Student Information Systems (ISIS) (sometimes still Excel files!) • National student databases

  5. Erasmus without paper The solution? • Creating a network that will enable all the data repositories to communicate with each other • Exchange data, not documents (e.g. scans) • Low cost, simple, reliable, secure; tamper-proof • In line with the Groningen declaration
