- 5. © 2020 TUM 5 EuroTeQ mobility –interoperability principles Replicate and build upon good practice (and share our own) - OEAPI, eduXchange.nl, MyAcademicID - Make the most of connections with partners across NL and EU - Only make something new if needed! Simplify and standardize - Keep data exchanged to a ‘minimum essential’ list. The more (differing) data required, the more complexity between partners. - Adapt our processes if needed, encouraging flexibility across partners Enhance the experience for all stakeholders - Build for the future, and don’t be too precious about existing solutions - Make things work well at scale for students & staff – quantity and quality

Align data and increase interoperability.

- 17. © 2020 TUM 18 EuroTeQ interoperability Handling complexity– technical & semantic • Use of OOAPI – building upon existing good practice, and proven functionality in an alliance setting. Lots of practical support for connecting university systems. • Willing to align with others to aim for a European standard • Adaptation for alliance tasks – Amendments to make data relevant to international mobility; tailoring back-end systems and associated processes • Using existing suitable tools – MyAcademicID for authenticating students, allowing automated enrolment (supported by GEANT). Already implemented by several partners for Erasmus Without Papers work. • Alignment on data requirements – jointly agreed in alliance Hurdle or mountain? Some obstacles are easier to move than others.
- 18. © 2020 TUM 19 EuroTeQ interoperability Handling complexity– legal & organisational • Privacy, Legal, Procurement – all still offer complexity across the alliance • Differences between partners – decision-making processes, national/regional factors • ‘Immovable’ obstacles – some differences are baked in and not easily changed, e.g:
- 19. © 2020 TUM 20 EuroTeQ interoperability Handling complexity- Strategic approach • Thinking long term, not just a ‘quick fix’ • E.g. Principle of no central data storage; Aim for best practice, not workarounds. • Working through (or around) complexity • E.g. Where possible, jointly agree solutions across the whole alliance • Viewing through different lenses – local, national, international • Individual universities in similar position – each works across these different arenas
- 20. © 2020 TUM 21 EuroTeQ interoperability Alignment acrossEurope We’re trying to find the benefits of staying connected • SURF & Dutch partners (e.g. Adapting OOAPI for international use; EWUU alliance) • EDEH (European Digital Education Hub; interoperability framework, implementation guidelines and resources) • FOREU4ALL (Fostering collaboration and share best practices between EUAs) • QualityLink (Aligning technical standards, and EU-wide course data aggregation) • NRENs & GÉANT (Supporting partner universities in other countries; integrating existing EU-wide tools like MyAcademicID) • eduXS (A repository of data on European Higher Ed digital infrastructure, mapping projects, standards, and relationships) • Other individual alliances (Sharing experience with those tackling similar use cases)
