Interoperability in higher education aims to increase collaboration and networking between European universities. It represents a crucial challenge on the way to a global education landscape. The study “Interoperability in higher education” highlights how these can be implemented in the short, medium and long term and how barriers can be removed. Download the new study here. 

The study “Interoperability in Higher Education” was conducted in close cooperation between Technopolis and the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung from November 2022 to July 2023.

More guidance and direction is required from policy makers and mandated stakeholders to reduce systemic uncertainty, create (technical) alignment and actively shape the path towards an interoperable European higher education system. A key factor is more effective use of public funds to achieve interoperability in higher education.

The study’s short, medium and long-term recommendations for those on the path to interoperability  – from the European Commission to member states, alliances, universities and the private sector – show how we can achieve interoperability together.
