The objective of the project is to introduce sustainable digital solutions — shared solutions for the modernization of study management systems and processes, for ensuring a studentcentered and flexible study process, and to strengthen the increase of international competitiveness of Latvia’s higher education institutions, as well as integration into the overall higher education and science ecosystem. 

Main project activities: 

1. A shared solution for the study management system has been created, including:
   • the creation of a study program catalogue 
   • the creation of a study and teaching course catalogue 
   • integration solutions with the Unified Register of EducationConfirming Documents 
   • the creation of an electronic student personal file (efile) 
2. Support solutions for the digitalization of the study process of highereducation institutionshave been created, including: 
   • the creation of an integrated digital resource and library management system for higher education institutions for more efficient use and management of various information resources and for improving user experience 
   • the creation of a unified student internship management system, ensuring a unified approach to searching for, applying for, and managing internships. 
   • the creation of a study process evaluation system, including the development of the content of evaluation questionnaires, ensuring timely feedback for the continuous improvement of the study process and quality 
   • the creation of a consent management system for the use of personal data for the conduct of student research, ensuring clear and transparent information about data processing processes, promoting participant awareness 
3. Solutions and adaptations have been created for the integration of the shared study management solutions and for the exchange of higher education data with state data systems, including the State Education Information System, the Data Distribution and Management Platform, and the European Union Single DigitalGateway.
4. In order to ensure the successful implementation of the second round of the measure and the effective implementation of the shared solutions and unified support systems in each higher education institution, solutions and activities will be developed for the alignment between the projects of the first and second rounds of the measure, cooperation will be organized and solutions will be harmonized with universities,advisory support will be provided to the submitters of thesecondround project applications, funding recipients, and their cooperation partners. 
5. Competence development of administrative staff of higher education institutions related to the study process has been implemented (ViceRectorsfor Studies, study program directors, digitalization agents, support staff promoting digitalization processes) in the field of digital transformation, including competencies necessary for the creation, organization, management, supervision, and evaluation of a digitally supported study process and digital learning services, includingexperienceexchange activities with foreign higher education institutions. 

Achievable indicators — the national indicator to be achieved is: created shared solutions of higher education institutions’ study management systems and unified support systems for the digitalization of the study process — in total 8.
