The European Campus Card Association (ECCA) exists to serve the needs of colleges' and universities' campus card users all over Europe.

As the designated authoritative organization for the collection and dispersion of information regarding issues in card systems, ECCA keeps abreast of the knowledge base and technological changes for institutional members. ECCA communicates through a regularly published newsletter, the ECCA-website on the Internet, and special e-mail communications. The organization also maintains a library of reference materials, and communicates frequently with card system experts within higher education who share their knowledge. As a member you get acces to all this and also you get access to other higher education institutions in Europe  to share and gather information.

Attendance at the ECCA annual conference is the single most important event to meet colleagues in the European campus card market.
