ESI in practice

A first use case where students can identify themselves using ESI, is the digital European Student Card in the Erasmus App.

Although ESI is merely a technical solution, it is a very powerful one for IROs, as it . It will allow IT-systems to link information shared via EWP to the right student without a need for any human manual intervention. For example, when the home university nominates a student digitally via EWP the ESI will be included in the information send to the host institution. When the host institution than receives a Learning Agreement ESI will enable linking this LA to the right nominated student. At the end of the mobility, a Transcript of Records will be send digitally from the host to the home institution and once again ESI will be used to identify the student at the home university.
