Taking courses at other institutions: it has been possible for a long time. But this creates a lot of extra work for both students and educational institutions. It was already clear that this had to be improved, but the EWUU alliance (TU/e, WUR and UU/UMC Utrecht) gave the go-ahead to really take up that challenge. The 3 institutions in EWUU work closely together in many areas, and they also want to be able to offer their education to each other's students. Without the barriers that students and administrations often experience. This challenge led the Flexibilization of Education zone of the Acceleration Plan for Educational Innovation with ICT to take the initiative for the Student Mobility pilot. An infrastructure has been built together with SURF and the EWUU alliance.
This spring, Leiden University, TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam will launch eduXchange. EduXchange is a portal with over 200 minors from the three LDE universities. This makes it easy for students to orientate and apply for a minor at one of the universities. From April, students from Leiden University, TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam will apply for all minors through the eduXchange portal: www.eduxchange.nl. To do so, students first create an eduID.
