IRIS - Integrated Reporting for International Students - is a project funded by the European Commission Directorate General of Education and Culture (DG EAC). The Norwegian Centre for International University Cooperation (SIU) is the developer.

The goal of IRIS is to provide a service to both students and universities involved in Erasmus. Erasmus is an action under the SOCRATES programme and aims to facilitate and promote student and teacher exchanges between European higher education institutions.

The IRIS project offically began in November 2000 and Commission funding ended in November 2002. The service is currently operated and maintained by SIU through Norwegian government funding.
