ESC-tension has the aim to promote the adoption and use of the European Student Card (ESC) by establishing a platform that will become a national focal point for the HEIs that want to implement the ESC. The platform will host the multilingual versions of operational tools that will detail the administrative, organisational and operational steps to issue the ESC, harmonise the card systems and adapt the students’ services to make the ESC fully functional in operational environments.

ESC-tension brings together excellence at EU level in the sphere of HEIs, student cards, ESC implementation as well as student services. The partnership encompasses complementary capacities and expertise through the involvement of 7 partners from 6 countries.

ESC-Tension will produce operational tools to advance the adoption and use of the ESC in HEIs that will have available the tools to implement the ESC in “Plug & Play” modality.
