The ACE Yourself App covers three essential learning pathways: study, personal, and social skills. Teachers can integrate skillset development into their courses, easily providing feedback and support. Students get to train skills autonomously or in groups, while personalizing their learning experience. This app enhances student engagement, personalizes learning experiences, and prepares students for their professional futures.

The ACE Yourself App was developed in close partnership with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Maastricht University, and Tilburg University. Moreover, various high schools and other institutions participate as advisory groups, testing and reviewing the app with students. Learn more about our partners' involvement in the app below!
We combined user-centered research and scientific research to ensure that the app is science-backed and endorsed by students.

We established the ACE app consortium consisting of 4 partner universities, also supported by formal agreements around the institutional use of the app.
The pilot of the app was tested during the Pre-Academic Program and the CONNECT mentor program of the academic year 2023/2024.
Research showed that over 80% of students use their phone for study purposes.
Since the start of the project, over 1200 students were involved in developing and testing the app.
The app was rated an average of 8.2 out of a 10-point scale by over 700 students who tested it.
Over 80 stakeholders from Erasmus University, partner universities, and other organizations have already collaborated on the ACE Yourself App project.
