No successful digital transition without the human perspective
On 7 March 2023, Neth-ER and Nuffic are jointly organising an event on the digital transition in education called: The human approach: succeeding the Digital Transformation in education. The event will show why the human factor is an indispensable factor in the development of digital education ecosystems. In line with the Digital Education Action Plan, the event focuses on how those ecosystems emerge and evolve. The spoken language during the event will be English. Registration is possible until 28 February via the following link.
Seize the opportunity to contribute in Europe!
Through this event, Neth-ER and Nuffic want to introduce everyone involved in developing digital learning environments in the higher education and secondary vocational education sector to European policy developments on digitalisation in education. But we also want to allow you to share best practices and engage in dialogue with colleagues to better align your education projects or policies with international developments. Therefore, this event is also of interest to potential KA2 applicants and policy advisers.

Context
The digital transformation of education is an indispensable component of Europe's digital strategy. That is why, among other things, the Digital Education Action Plan (DEAP) was created. This plan emphasises the development of inclusive, qualitative and digitally accessible education ecosystems, which also ensure the development of digital skills.
