SEAMK has been selected as Finland's ESCI Champion in EWP for 2025–2027
Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SEAMK) has been selected as an ESCI Champion in the implementation of Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) for the 2025–2027 period. European Student Card Initiative Champions are higher education institutions and organisations that have made significant progress in adopting the different building blocks of the European Student Card Initiative (ESCI). Through these efforts, these organisations are supporting the digitalisation and simplification of administrative processes in Erasmus+ mobility.
The Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) nominated candidates among the applicants from Finland to be considered by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) of the European Commission. SEAMK was chosen as the ESCI Champion in EWP, representing Finland. In total, there there were over 120 applications, with 31 champions selected from across Europe.
The newly appointed ESCI Champions will serve a two-year term, during which they will support ESCI by participating in meetings and national events, engaging in outreach activities such as sharing testimonials and best practices, and contributing to the ongoing development of ESCI.
A kick-off meeting for the new champions will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in September 2025. Read more about the ESCI Initiative on Erasmus+ web page European Student Card Initiative and about new ESCI Champions on web page Introducing the ESCI Champions 2025–2027.
