European Digital Campus: Lessons Learned from the Unite! implementation (Presentation at KTH, Stockholm, October 13, 2026)

Abstract

How do we build a federated digital campus across Europe? Join us for an in-depth look at the practical realities of the Unite! alliance, where nine universities were developing their joint digital higher education. Building upon the latest Unite! -report and new developments, this unique event moves beyond theory to explore the technical and organizational backbone of our shared infrastructure. Through short presentations and interactive Q&A, it will dive into the real-world challenges and successes of supporting teaching across borders. Planned presentations by Unite! experts and discussion points: Visualising our IT landscape: Strategies for exchanging and visually mapping the diverse IT infrastructures of our partner institutions and the alliance to foster mutual understanding and alignment. Federated learning ecosystems and seamless registration: Exploring cross-border access to our Moodle LMS and eduGAIN. Seamless integration: Practical experiences with LTI connections for unified access. Infrastructure standards: The current status of the ESCI implementation across the alliance. Governance in action: How the Technical Commission drives decision-making. This event offers a unique opportunity to exchange insights on the development for IT infrastructure for teaching support, to discuss interoperability, security, and scalability, and shape the future of our digital federation within Unite! and other European alliances and expert groups.
