... h2. About RS3G
[RS3G|RS3G:Home of RS3G] is an international group of stakeholders of HE contributing to:
Facilitate student mobility and lifelong learning by:
* Building community to share news and experience in student systems
* Identifying and sharing opportunities to establish interoperability
* Providing expertise to the development of business cases driving specifications
* Contributing to, endorsing and facilitating uniform adoption towards standards
* Fostering contacts with formal entities such as EC, EUA, ENQA, CEN
* Liaise with communities of interest like EAIE, EUNIS, TERENA
* Showcasing outcomes of RS3G activities
h2. About the Mobility Project
h3. Aim
Facilitate mobility - one of the main objectives of European Higher Education Area (as stated in the London Communiqué 2007, and emphasized in the Leuven Communiqué 2009)
h3. Specific Objectives
* Interconnect European universities in a digital communication network
* Reduce administrative inefficiencies/problems in handling mobility data and procedures (intra-university)
* Streamline the communication flow among partner institutions (inter-universities )
* Digitize mobility documents (secure, authentic, transparent, tamper-proof)
* Produce reliable and accessible mobility statistics (EC interest)
h3. Distinctive Traits
* The value of the project is directly proportional to the number of active participants \-the "network effect".
* Economies of scale could be triggered faster by interconnecting the consortia and established implementers first - connect one, serve many - the "Hub-and-Spoke" approach.
* Adopting "Standards" specifications for an open, accessible and efficient implementation
* Leveraging established Federated Identity Management technologies.
