Erasmus Digitalisation - Introduction and implementation at UPV

Erasmus Digitalisation, or the "European Student Card Initiative", is a digitalization project that seeks to establish an automatic connection between the computer systems and tools of all institutions participating in the Erasmus+ program.This connection will create a network for automatic data exchanges of student and staff mobility or EWP Network.

Institutions may connect to the EWP Network in 3 different ways:

1. With their own mobility software (in-house mobility system)
2. With commercial software (third-party provider)
3. Through the website Erasmus Dashboard

Students may connect to EWP either through the software used by their home university (case 1 or 2 ) or using the Erasmus+ app (for general information and notifications) and the website www.learning-agreement.eu (to create an online Learning Agreement).

UPV uses an in-house software for managing mobility programmes, called AIRE.

UPV is updating this software and to connect with the EWP network. We are currently testing the exchange of inter-institutional agreements with all the major third-party providers (Mobility Online, Moveon, BeSmart, SoleMove...) as well as Erasmus Dashboard and other in-house tools.

Our goal is to complete the full connection before the beginning of the student mobilities in 2023-24.

Erasmus Inter-institutional agreements (IIAs) 2022-2027/28 - signature

The European Commission has confirmed that the previous 2014-2021 inter-institutional agreements may remain valid until both partners are ready to sign digitally, simply with an exchange of emails.

Following the guidelines of the European Commission and the Spanish National Agency, UPV has been confirming by email with its partners the intention to renew the existing agreements for the new period 2022-28. Should a partner require a signed PDF for the renewal, we can provide it.

For new agreements (or new study areas), a PDF agreement is required

As soon as our EWP connection is 100% operational, UPV will notify its partners.

OLAs (Online Learning Agreements)

UPV is connected to the EWP Network through the tool Erasmus Dashboard only to exchange and approve Online Learning Agreements.

In the meantime, our university will update its mobility software to be able to receive/send, review, and sign OLAs during 2023.

OLAs - UPV outgoing Erasmus students 2023-24:

We are encouraging our students to use Online Learning Agreeements, as suggested by our National Agency. Our students will use the website www.learning-agreement.eu to create their OLA. UPV will provisionally sign OLAs with the website Erasmus Dashboard.

However, when a partner university is not ready to exchange OLAs yet, we can also sign a traditional PDF Learning Agreement.

OLAs - Incoming Erasmus students 2023-2024

UPV may digitally sign the OLAs of incoming students who request it. OLAs will only be reviewed and signed AFTER the student has submitted his or her full application for admission to UPV.

In the fields of "Responsile person" and "Contact person" incoming students must write specific names and email addresses of UPV staff depending on their study area and host UPV School/Faculty.

Otherwise, the UPV unit or person in charge will not be notified that the OLA is waiting for approval.
