MyAcademicID
MyAcademicID was funded by the Connecting Europe Facility programme in 2019-2020 in the context of the [European Student Card initiative](https://ec.europa.eu/education/education-in-the-eu/european-student-card-initiative_en) and delivered on the core promise to enable students to authenticate for their studies abroad using their home student account thanks to [eduGAIN](https://edugain.org/), connect their academic identities with their identities as natural persons thanks to the bridge with [eIDAS](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/trust-services-and-eid) national nodes and enable the once-only principle by introducing the [European Student Identifier](https://wiki.geant.org/display/SM/European+Student+Identifier). The project resulted in the creation of an [identity and access management platform](https://wiki.geant.org/display/SM/MyAcademicID+Identity+and+Access+Management+Service) combining both eIDAS and eduGAIN for the authentication on e-services related to the Erasmus+ programme (such as [Erasmus+ App](https://erasmusapp.eu/) or the [Online Learning Agreement](https://learning-agreement.eu/)). The impact of the implementation of the platform on e-services related to Erasmus+ combined with release of the European Student Identifier via eduGAIN and [Erasmus Without Paper](https://www.erasmuswithoutpaper.eu/) will considerably reduce the administrative workload on staff and students. The project results will be further developed by the consortium partners of the European Digital Student Service Infrastructure project and higher education institutions are invited to start implementing first results (LINK SECTION BELOW) in the context of the European Student Card initiative.
