Welcome to the National Context survey for the ESC-tension customization

ESC-tension includes one activity (O3-A1) aimed at customizing the project and the technological standards of the ESC for the national contexts, not only from a linguistic point of view but also, and most importantly, from a functional and cultural perspective.

Therefore, each partner should carry out this activity based on their national experiences, in order to harmonize the tools developed within the project with the specificity of the countries and their contexts.

The Profiling Tool is the innovative tool developed within the project with the goal of the HEI “as-is” scenario description concerning cards and the services, in view of the ESC Extension and Adoption.

Section B of this tool is entirely addressed to the definition of the as-is scenario of each National Context.

The aims of this survey are:

• To provide each country represented within the ESC-tension project with a national context description according to the framework identified in section B of the Profiling Tool, by replying to those questions which are independent from the HEI specifity;

• To customize the questions in section B of the Profiling Tool, when needed, towards the harmonization with the single countries for which the ESC-tension national platform will be implemented;

• Detect further details concerning the national contexts specificity which are relevant for the ESC adoption, if any, so that this information is contained in the Profiling Tool of each national ESC-tension platform as well;

• Identify further questions to add to section B of the national Profiling Tools in order to customize the analysis to the local contexts.
