You will hear from the European Digital Education Hub on their work on interoperability and from GEANT on the current and future activities that the NREN community supporting. The Norwegian NREN (Sikt) will share their experience on how they have developed their Digital Learning Environment strategy. The second part of the meeting will have an interactive discussion with experts from the NREN community together with the participants on the learning impact for NRENs.
The TF-EDU meeting provides an excellent platform for stakeholders to collaborate, exchange ideas, and collectively address the challenges and opportunities that arise in the quest to safeguard educational data while embracing the benefits of digitalization.
