On 15th and 16th January 2018, the 4th Joint Workshop CEF – ERASMUS+ “Taking forward the EU Student Card initiative” took place in Luxembourg.

The consortium StudIES+ was represented by Mr. Kampert, Mr. Ludyga and Mr. Wittich from Francotyp Postalia, Mr. Ohlendorf from Freie Universität Berlin and Mr. Strack from Hochschule Harz.

The goal of the two-day conference organized by the EU was, inter alia, to identify the needs and challenges for a future common platform, to agree on the academic attributes to be exchanged, to further discuss the common roadmap and the support for the European Student Card initiative in the context of the next Erasmus+ programme. Furthermore, new projects were presented to the workshop participants as well as possible synergies and complementarities between the projects were discussed.
