The Task Force proposes to gather information, discuss and develop tools and best practices to address the common issues NRENs are dealing with regarding their educational services and activities. The areas include digital learning environment (Learning Management Systems (LMS), Learning Analytics (LA), Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)...e.t.c.), eduID, Open Educational Resources (OER) and more.

The results of the Task Force will yield joint activities, projects, documentation and tools for NRENs.

NRENs and education is GÉANT's new activity to support our community in enhancing their educational activities. National research and education networks have always been providing connectivity and services to their higher educational institutions. The focus expanded to offer more services to support education with the ever changing technological advances. The constant innovation and changes create new opportunities and also new challenges for our community. With this activity we plan to address the commonalities and create future vision for the benefit of the community.

Main areas of the activity:

  • Identify common goals to work together
  • Identify common challenges
  • Create a global vision and strategy


The activity plans to create an open forum where experts from its community exchange information, knowledge, ideas and best practices about specific technical or other areas of business relevant to the research and education networking community.
