Stimulating the adoption of open standardsIn higher education, ICT is used more and more for collaboration and communication purposes. But not every institution uses the same software. Interoperability allows for improved compatibility between different systems, and makes it easier to share data.
Using standards enables data to be exchanged simply, securely and reliably, which benefits the quality of the exchange. It is also more economical and efficient to create and maintain a single interface and to avoid supplier dependence. Reaping the full benefits of standards requires a widespread adoption; applications can only be interfaced simply if as many parties as possible commit to the standards.
 
As NRENs we can play an important role in stimulating the application of standards at suppliers, who work cross border. We can also play a joint role in promoting standards at institutions by promoting standards that are important for organizing future-proof education.

eduID

In the society of the future, boundaries between institutions fade. Students want to study outside of their own institution, even international. They are interested in a variety of different courses or they want to combine subjects that cannot be found within a single institution.  Moreover, education institutions are offering joint programmes.

To facilitate mobility, students must be uniquely identifiable across institutions. In that way, different institutions can be certain that they are dealing with the same student and can share a student's academic results. The eduID is lifelong available, owned by the student and starts out as a (self-created) basic identity. Assurance can be increased and enhanced by authoritative sources, like institutions or the government.

In the Netherlands, SURF is creating a disruptive concept called eduID. Besides the trust & identity aspects of such an ID, eduID has deep impact on all kind of educational processes inside and between institutions. It would be great to explore the possibilities of cooperating within GEANT to align international eduID initiatives.
