In the Digivisio 2030 programme, all Finnish higher education institutions are building a future of learning together. The goal is a new era of learning where each of us can learn more easily and flexibly, thus accumulating the expertise needed in a constantly changing world.
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.
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.

"Recognition plattform" tool for HEIs
PIM offers higher education institutions (HEI) and students a platform for inter*national student mobility. The platform is being developed as a cooperation between several higher education institutions.
An important goal of PIM is to provide HEIs with practical solutions for implementing the requirements of the Law for Digital Access (Onlinezugangsgesetz, OZG) and of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).
PIM is built on EU standards, main ones being EMREX/ELMO for course achievements and EDCI for the exchange of module information. The integration of EWP processes and especially of the Learning Agreement is in scope as well.
In the current project phase (11/2021 – 03/2022) PIM will be connected to the German National Education Platform (Nationale Bildungsplattform- NBP).
QualityLink aims to address all stakeholders’ needs by furnishing them with all relevant information about courses and micro-credentials from a diversity of sources to improve recognition decisions and allow learners to follow flexible learning pathways. Quality information on study programs and other courses is often dispersed throughout many different platforms and sites, and they are not interoperable. To make sure that the standards are of high quality and have ownership in the community, the consortium will create a Standards Consultation Board – a group of higher education interoperability experts from across different countries. Through creating open standards and collaboration, the project aims to establish the infrastructure for aggregating quality information from a wide range of sources.
