Education and Training

Join this interactive webinar to find out more about two exciting initiatives in the field of higher education: the European Student Card initiative and the Digital Opportunity Traineeships (DOT) initiative.

What is the European Student Card Initiative?

The European Student Card initiative will digitalise the administrative processes around student mobility for both higher education institutions and students, as well as make it easier for students to access services during their mobility. The first elements of the digitalisation process were demonstrated last December at the official launch of the Erasmus Without Paper Network, marking the start of a phase of testing and preparation before the next Erasmus+ programme begins in 2021.

What are Digital Opportunity Traineeships?

Digital Opportunity Traineeships are making the Erasmus+ programme even more relevant for Erasmus+ students by facilitating traineeships abroad to boost digital skills. This initiative, piloted in the 2018 Erasmus+ call thanks to additional funds coming from Horizon 2020, is also tackling serious skills mismatches in the labour market.

What will I gain from this webinar?

• Find out how your higher education institution can prepare for the digital evolution taking place in the management of Erasmus+ student mobility, and what support is available.
• Learn everything about how the Digital Opportunity Traineeship initiative can improve your students’ digital skills, and the funding options available.

Who is this webinar for?

Anyone interested in the future of Erasmus+ in higher education, but in particular staff responsible for student mobility programmes. The webinar is open to all and registration is not required.
