Welcome to the knowledge base for MyAcademicID!

MyAcademicID developed an innovative solution for higher education students to authenticate their student status online in a safe and simple manner. By connecting the relevant European networks –such as eIDAS and eduGAIN– and implementing a unique European Student Identifier, the project enables students to use their home university account or their national citizen eID to access different student electronic services when going on mobility abroad. This is possible at the click of a button, without requiring students to create new accounts or share their information more than once. In practice, this translates into a truly European Student eID, valid across borders and e-services. In the future, students will also be able to register at higher education institutions using their national eID, linking their citizen and student identities.

Key services for international student mobility under the Erasmus programme are currently integrating MyAcademicID, including the Erasmus+ Mobile App, the Online Learning Agreement, the Erasmus Dashboard and the PhD Hub. With their current academic credentials, students are able to access them all.

By enhancing internationalisation, MyAcademicID has become a key policy component of the digitalisation roadmap set out in the European Student Card Initiative, bringing higher education closer to the vision of a European Education Area where there are no physical or virtual borders to studying abroad.
