Location: TNC24, Rennes, France
Title: Strategic insights, cutting-edge trends, and practical wisdom in educational delivery, both in our national spheres and on the global stage
The GÉANT Task Force for Educational Activities (TF-EDU) would like to invite you to a pre-TNC24 Conference workshop focussing on both strategic opportunities and challenges, and sharing knowledge and best practice on practical issues related to the delivery of education, both nationally and globally.
Our annual event for 2024 will be hosted by TF-EDU Steering Committee members, using their experience, individually and collectively, and the knowledge gained from our community sessions over the past years. Our annual events attract a global audience, from NRENs, educational institutions, international organisations, governments and commercial companies.
During the workshop we will have an interactive look at standardisation across educational ecosystems and explore interoperability by looking at future looking national projects from Finland and the Netherlands. We will discuss where our community is taking an active role supporting education with Trust & Identity in existing and future activities. And closing the meeting with an update on the latest developments on educational standards and badges.
We will endeavour to set out the context for these discussions at the outset with an overview of the most recent results from our third ‘Annual Survey on Educational Services and Activities’, looking also at any trends from the earlier surveys and possible early impact of the pandemic, brought to you by Dragana Kupres (CARNET).
The workshop will help TF-EDU develop a forward-looking roadmap to better understand the changes as a community, and for the education sector as a whole.
If you have some technical issues or other concerns, please send your submission to tf-edu-sc@lists.geant.org
