The European Student Card will simplify the mobility thanks to the recognition of the student status. It is your current student card, issued by your university, that becomes european thanks to a logo and an electronic recognition. This gives you access to digital services and a lot of advantages as a student.

You have been granted refugee or subsidiary protection status and want to start or continue your studies in France? France also welcomes you as a student. You will find all the necessary information on this page.

The EDSSI project The ambition of the European Digital Student Service Infrastructure (EDSSI) project is to create an IT infrastructure that connects the Erasmus+ Higher Education mobility programme to the digital single market of the EU. The infrastructure leverages the Once Only Principle so that higher education students and staff are able to authenticate themselves and access all mobility services and information available with a single login and regardless of their geographical location. Thus, the project strengthens inclusivity and contributes substantially to the delivery of the European Education Area1. The EDSSI will spread the usage of eIDAS enabled eIDs in the European Education Area. Henceforth, the project will contribute to the common European data spaces and the CEF Telecom objectives by supporting enhanced connections and reliable data exchanges among higher education institutions and third-party student service providers. The new system is fully aligned with the goals set for the European Education Area, such as the European Universities and the European Student Card Initiative. Also, it contributes and builds up on a wide array of HE mobility digitisation initiatives, such as the MyAcademicID, Erasmus Without Paper, European Student Card project, EMREX or Erasmus+ App projects. The project is funded under the European Commission’s Connecting Europe Facility programme under grant agreement no. LC-01560120 CEF-TC-2019-4-001. The partners of the project are: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Coordinator), Centre National des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires, Deutsches Studentenwerk, Erasmus Student Network, European University Foundation, Fondazione Endisu - Ente nazionale per il diritto allo studio e per i servizi agli studenti, Géant Vereniging, Groupement d’intérêt public pour le réseau national de telecommunications pour la technologie, l’enseignement et la recherche (Renater), Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin, Unit – direktoratet for ikt og fellestjenester i hoyere utdanning og forskning, Universidad de Málaga, Universidade do Porto, Universitat Jaume i de Castelló, Universiteit Gent, Uniwersytet Warszawski, Vetenskapsradet. 1 European Commission, achieving a European Education Area by 2025 and resetting education and training for the digital age.
