Earlier this year, the European Commission announced the launch of a large-scale consultation with higher education players and stakeholders in order to better define the priorities for digitising the Erasmus+ processes.
The aim is to identify future problems, co-design appropriate digital solutions and improve the user experience. Ensuring equity for all students and institutions by bridging the digital divide is also a priority.
The first meetings will take place on 28 and 29 January in Brussels and will bring together experts and professionals involved in the development, management and integration of digital tools for the Erasmus+ programme, in particular within the ‘Erasmus Without Paper’ (EWP) network, to discuss digital learning agreements and Interinstitutional Agreements.
The Commission also stresses the importance of the role of international relations officers, which is changing with the digitalisation of Erasmus+.
In this respect, designing effective policies and tools means including them in the debate. And with good reason: their experience in the field provides valuable insights into the practical challenges and opportunities of digital transformation.
