Interoperability Unlocked: Powering the Future of Joint Campuses in European Higher Education

This session will explore the way forward to make a truly interconnected European university campus become reality. Participants will discover how the European higher education interoperability framework can unlock the potential for unprecedented collaboration and data sharing in university alliances and beyond.

Imagine a European higher education landscape where learners can move seamlessly between universities, accessing courses, resources and support services as if they were on one big single campus. This vision of a truly connected joint European campus is the driving force behind European Universities Alliances - and the Digital Education Hub's ground-breaking European Higher Education Interoperability Framework, supported by the European Commission.

Let's face it: building a shared campus - as the more than 500 universities in the alliances across Europe are aiming to do - is no walk in the park. Different systems, platforms and data formats. Different organisational cultures and ways of working. Different standards and regulations. It's a tangled web of digital barriers. This session will unpack the way forward in making this ambitious vision a reality.

We'll look at:
- The secret sauce of interoperability: understanding the key ingredients that enable seamless data sharing and collaboration;
- Decoding the matrix: exploring how the interoperability framework can untangle the complexities of connecting disparate systems and platforms;
- Hacking the system: practical strategies and tools for overcoming technical and organisational barriers to building a truly interoperable shared campus.

Get ready to understand the interoperability framework’s practical, modular toolkit that shows how existing standards can be used to connect systems, solutions and technical components.
