Are you familiar with "e-landscape"? No ? That's normal, this platform set up by the ARES in recent years is only known to the enrolment services of higher education institutions in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. What is it about? It is a computerized, centralized and secure platform for the exchange of data relating to (future) students. It will be accessible to them with a host of advantages, especially for all matters relating to enrolment.

The advantages: more simple, more reliable, faster

As all his/her "academic" data are on the e-landscape platform, the student will no longer have to provide a copy of his/her identity card or CESS, the diploma obtained in another higher education institution, the proof that he/she is entitled to a study allowance at the time of his/her registration in a new programme. The process will be simpler and more reliable because the data will have been authenticated before being uploaded to the platform.

What's in it for the parents? They will no longer have to provide proof of their child's enrolment at university to the family allowance fund. The latter will obtain the necessary information directly from e-paysage.

Universities will be better able to combat registration fraud. They will have quicker access to information related to study allowances and will no longer have to provide important paperwork to the authorities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation verifying students' financeability.  The government delegates will have direct access to the necessary information via the platform.

From the beginning of the next academic year (2023-2024), all new registrations and their modifications during the year will be transmitted progressively on this platform.

This large database contains the entire history of students currently enrolled in higher education in the south of the country:

  • The information on the identity card (surname, first name, national registration number, date of birth),
  • Diplomas obtained (CESS, bachelor's or master's degrees, etc.),
  • Information relating to study allowances (scholarships).

This tool will make it possible to centralize diplomas, the enrolment of non-resident students for restricted studies (e.g. veterinary medicine), to check students' financeability, to verify higher education entrance qualifications and to obtain the scholarship status of enrolled students.

The various actors involved in the student's pathway - secondary schools, universities and Ares colleges, delegates of the government of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the study allowance service, the family allowance fund, etc. - will therefore be able to communicate more easily and exchange information on the student's financial situation. - will therefore be able to communicate more easily and exchange reliable information in a simplified manner.  No more sending copies of documents and forms to each other!
