European project on leadership for the digital transformation of universities

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the institutional member of EUNIS, will be running two leadership schools within the Transforming Universities for the Digital Age (D-Transform) project. The aim of the project is to introduce a leadership training programme for the presidents and vice presidents of European universities that takes into account the role of digital technologies and open educational resources (OER) to transform their institutions. The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) is taking part in this project, which is intended to help university governing bodies define their digital strategies and coordinate them with the public policies defined at national and European level. Funded by the strategic partnerships sub-programme of the Erasmus+ European financing programme, it has a budget of around half a million euros and will continue until 2017.

The participating institutions are: Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, UOC, Université de Lorraine, Sero Consulting Ltd, METID – Politecnico di Milano, Budapest University of Technology and Economics and EDEN.

ECCA on-line survey on eID credentials and campus card systems

European Campus Card Association (ECCA) is carrying out an important research study through an on-line survey with Education Institutions across Europe. The aim of this survey is to determine the current state of the art and the potential future requirements for eID credentials and campus card systems.

The research study will analyse the survey results and compile a report of the findings, which will be distributed to all the participating Education Institutions. The report will provide a valuable insight into current eID credentials, campus card systems and technology, together with identifying the future needs and requirements of systems.

It’s important that the survey reflects the views and opinions of a wide range of Education Institutions across Europe and your participation in this process would be very much appreciated.

The following link will provide access to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ECCA201602

The deadline of the survey is 20th of April 2016.

Thank you for your participation,

ECCA Board
