The European Student Card Initiative (ESCI) is crucial to promoting student participation in educational and cultural activities in line with the vision to create a European Education Area by 2025.

ESCI is composed of three building blocks

• European Student Card - transforming current student cards into a European Student Card so students can benefit from  on- and off- campus services during their mobility
• Erasmus+ App - a single app to help Erasmus students with all their practical administration – before, during and after their mobility programme
• Erasmus Without Paper - a digital solution connecting systems in use at higher education institutions allowing to manage their Erasmus+ mobilities online

ESCI is a step forward in the transition towards a digital European society and a true European Education Area, in which spending time abroad to study and learn is the norm, and educational excellence is a reality for all.
