Context: initiative of Cnous and its partners grouped within the ECSTA, the European Council of the student life.The social dimension essential to the development of mobility by giving access to social tariff services and by working towards simplification and administrative fluidification: identify and register electronically easily and safely in higher education institutions.At the local level, student multiservice cards give access to the services of universities, specialized organizations and communities: housing, university catering, social assistance, health, sport, culture, public transport, etc.Digital services are becoming increasingly important and rely on the recognition of electronic identity and student status.Several countries are working on the establishment of a valid electronic student ID throughout life.The growth of the Erasmus + program and the European card are the two priorities adopted by the EU leaders in November 2017 in Gothenburg.For the European Commission, the goal is to implement this initiative by 2021 for all higher education institutions participating in the future Erasmus + program which will start in 2021 and make this card available to all European students by 2025.Beyond the students, the project will simplify the administrative burden of higher education institutions.The European Commission has promoted the convergence between Erasmus Without Paper, EMREX and the European Student Card, which will be extended from 2019 and articulated with the eIDAS e-ID regulation of EU citizens.Concrete benefits for mobility: Electronic recognition of student status without additional administrative procedures, easy access to course material before mobility, online course registration and automatic recognition of ECTS credits, immediate access to host university services such as library, transport and accommodation, restaurants, discounts on cultural activities throughout the European Union, sports activities, transport ... and, for higher education institutions, management of the entire electronic mobility process, selection students to recognize ECTS credits and the possibility of exchanging / verifying student data, including academic records, in a secure manner.Objectives: recognition of the status and identity of the student throughout Europe through a simple device acceptable to all institutions and students, without questioning the diversity of existing situations: development of a platform for exchange and the technical and graphic characteristics of the student card.Develop access to the first services and test the device through an experiment on real mobility for cohorts of students, to know the needs and expectations and measure the impact for campuses.Participants: the nine core partners are specialized student service organizations representing national higher education in the four countries concerned: the CSSI in Ireland, Fondazione Endisu in Italy, DSW in Germany, Cnous in France and field structures closer to the students.Among the 17 associated partners are universities and university networks, student organizations, digital networks, networks for digital services in local communities, similar projects funded by the EU.Have joined the project institutions or digital specialists in higher education: ECCA, EYCA, EUF, Groeningen declaration, service companies ....Results and impacts: the project made it possible to define the technical specifications of the exchange platform and student cards, to develop them and to make them available to schools for testing.The number of universities already connected, more than 40 institutions from 8 different countries, the first services tested, the current accession of national higher education systems as a whole, show the enthusiasm that this project raises, also highlighted by the statements of the political leaders of several countries, the EU and the Bologna Process. This project has already reached a critical mass and has a strong capacity for federating digital service projects, in connection with the eIDAS recognition of the electronic identity of European citizens.In addition to the spontaneous adherence of the institutions, this project offers a remarkable potential for the development of digital services accessible on a European portal via a single authentication.
