The overwhelming majority of student information now exchanged in the context of the Erasmus programme is done so by email or even by normal post. The personal information in it is rarely encrypted.
Such procedures are not GDPR-compliant. Erasmus Without Paper provides an infinitely more secure fashion through which to exchange such digital data.
In addition, EWP exchanges data in real-time and is extremely labour efficient. This means no more double work.
Finally, supporting digital procedures is part of your Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) commitments.
How your institution can benefit
Replace your paper-based workflow
Administrative practices in Erasmus are still largely paper based. EWP stands for a digital workflow that leaves no university behind.
Tackle the administrative workload for students and staff
Setting up a student exchange takes a lot of work by both students and supporting staff. Shifting processes online can greatly reduce the strain.
Benefit from streamlined technical solutions
Instead of reinventing the wheel, EWP aims to streamline existing technical solutions by bringing tools together and connecting them through a network.
Use and contribute
EWP is a free public infrastructure. Being part of it will help your institution and benefit all higher education institutions across the EU.
