Over recent years Erasmus+ funded projects have supported the development and use of digital tools for Erasmus+ mobility data portability:

• The Online Learning Agreements project led by the European University Foundation and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). It builds on outcomes of the 2010 ESN study, which revealed that Learning Agreements (LA) are the cornerstone of, as well as the biggest barrier to, successful mobility. The project is developing a tool which allows students to prepare Learning Agreements online, send them by email to the home and host universities for online approval and signature.
• Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) - a consortium of 11 institutions from eight countries - is aimed at:
  1. An integrated communication network for the exchange of student data and documents.
  2. Building software modules to link the institutions’ Student Information Systems with built-in mobility modules or stand-alone mobility systems to exchange data in the EWP network.
  3. A pilot to test the feasibility of introducing the solutions in all HEIs.
• Electronic Transfer of Student Records (EMREX) aims to digitalise student records so that they can be shared more efficiently between institutions. The pilot project uses developed technologies to facilitate communication between the institutions and is undertaking a field trial, engaging five countries to test its feasibility.
• The European Student Card (ESC) is aimed at creating a digital platform to recognise student ID online, to foster the international recognition of student status and facilitate access to student services e.g. student accommodation, university catering, libraries, faculties, IT services.

The University of Warsaw has been fostering the uptake of digital tools to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the supporting international mobility exchanges. It has proactively sought to participate in European projects such as Egracons, EMREX and EWP. In addition, the University has created, a dedicated International Relations Office module (USOS-IRO) to facilitate the organisation of international student exchanges. This made the work of the IRO more efficient and communication more transparent. It also ensured that Erasmus quality standards are a benchmark for all types of international cooperation.

Building on the success of the USOS-IRO module, the University developed MOBILTY, an online registration system for short-term mobility and training. A testimony to the success of the tools is their adoption by a number of other Polish higher education institutions.
