On 21 September, the European Commission launched the new Erasmus+ application in an attempt to further digitise the Erasmus+ programme. The new application, available in all EU languages, will provide a digital European Student Card to each student, valid all across the EU.  

This new Erasmus+ app is a one-stop shop for mobile Erasmus+ students, facilitating administration and offering access to the same services and same recognition of educational background. The new app, which works on Android and iOS systems, will enable students to: 

• Browse and select their destination among their university's partners; 
• Sign their online learning agreement; 
• Discover events and useful tips about their destination, and get in touch with other students; and 
• Obtain their European Student Card to get access to services, museums, cultural activities and special deals in their host university and country. 

More than 4000 universities are currently involved in the Erasmus Without Paper Network, which enables them to securely exchange data and more easily identify learning agreements. This digital cooperation allows the rollout and wide recognition of the European Student Card.
