In line with the further developments in the European Stud= ent Card Initiative, the authentication solution for students has been upda= ted and will be based on their academic credentials (eduGAIN).
The digital transformation of the Erasmus programme means that mor= e students will be using online tools when applying for grants and accessin= g electronic services before, during and after their studies abroad. Studen= ts need a secure and easy way to authenticate themselves online, while high= er education institutions and service providers require certainty that the = information they receive is trustworthy.
Therefore, the MyAcademicID (MyAID) project has developed a Single= European Student eID Scheme for Higher Education by bridging existing digi= tal infrastructure. Students will be able to register at their universities= and apply online for student mobility by using a single set of credentials= in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
MyAID bridges the eIDAS and eduGAIN networks to create a digital e= nvironment that supports the secure and seamless exchange of data related t= o student mobility between higher education institutions and service provid= ers in Europe. This includes the incorporation of the ESI into Erasmus mobi= lity flows and relevant e-services, such as the OLA, the Erasmus+ Mobile Ap= p and the Erasmus Dashboard, among others.
The vast majority of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education hold= ers are already members of the eduGAIN community. However, if this is not t= he case for you, please see how to join your federation as well as the oppo= rtunities it offers for the students, HEIs and student service providers here.
There will be a transition phase to make sure no HEIs are lef= t behind with regards to ensuring their students can access the OLA. Accord= ingly, until the beginning of 2021 students can also access the OLA platfor= m with a Google login; from that point onwards a solution for ECHE holders = who are not federated in eduGAIN will be made available.
The updated OLA platform will share the MyAcademicID based authent= ication solution with the updated Erasmus+ App that will be launched before= the end of 2020 (also based on eduGAIN).
Please see more information in the MyAcademicID<= /u> space and see <= /span>this informati= onal leaflet th= at will walk you through the Why, What, Where, When, How and Who of My= AcademicID.
