Interoperability refers to the ability for partner universities to seamlessly and securely share data across institutional and national boundaries. In this briefing, EUA explores interoperability’s potential to transform cooperation within and beyond the European Universities alliances.
By allowing diverse systems to talk to each other and share information efficiently, there is the potential among networks of institutions to develop – and expand access to – common learning opportunities. Progress – and the challenges that come with this – are especially apparent within European Universities alliances, where the ambition to establish virtual campuses and scale up mobility have generated impetus in moving towards interoperable systems.
