ESMO – The main objectives
Promote eIDAS adoption through the CEF eID. Objectives Promote eIDAS adoption through the CEF eID. By minimising adoption costs for SPs. By facilitating the connection of sector specific data sources. Facilitate learning mobility. By enabling eIDAS cross-border electronic authentication. By enabling cross-border exchange of sector specific attributes. By facilitating the deployment of streamlined administrative procedures involving trusted data transfer between institutions. Ease management of trust and data requirements. Promote convergence with EduGAIN, cooperation with other CEF and Erasmus+ projects based on common objectives. by offering multiple protocol endpoints, and protocol and attribute translation for academic SPs/APs. The Gateway will be designed with a wider scope: extensible to allow adding further modular functionality to it. Widespread mobility based on paperless procedures enabled by a widespread cross-border use of eIDAS accepted eIDs, leveraging strong legal , proposing recommendations, road-mapping and collaboration measures foundation of eIDAS. Phased scalable interconnection of academic data sources and services (incl. future mutual eIDAS & eduGAIN inter-federation):
ESMO Network: Towards the Digital Student Data Ecosystem Leveraging EWP
ESMO in CEF and Higher Education: Expected Benefits Maximizing impact by enlarging CEF eID adoption by attracting: Students user base. Academic attribute providers. Online services. Enable high trust student mobility services requiring authorisation based on the academic profile. Decrease administrative burden. Facilitate compliance: eIDAS, GDPR, Digital Education Action Plan Enable the transferring of attributes, useful to model sector-specific needs, in a more flexible fashion than eIDAS does. Extend results to other sectors. Examples of potential services Enrolment with trusted grades recognition. Job Placement and demand Job qualification assurance Services targeted for certain student population groups without the need for prior registration (discounts, surveys...).
