ERUA: European Reform University Alliance – An Innovative, Visionary Meeting Of Cooperation And Creativity For The Digital Future Of Erua
Invitation
On 26th -27th May 2022, the University of the Aegean was pleased to welcome to the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering in Ermoupolis, Syros, researchers, academics, teachers, managers, external experts and specialists in digital systems from the five affiliated universities of the European University of Reform Alliance [ERUA].
The two-day workshop ‘Digital Escape Meeting’ was organized by ERUA UAegean Office as part of the 1st Flagship Initiative “Digital Reform in ERUA”- Task 5.1: “Developing and adopting common digital tools for connectivity” which was coordinated by our university.
The main objective of the Digital Escape Meeting concerned the connection of the digital communities and groups of ERUA & re: ERUA, the interaction and exchange of experiences and practices with other alliances of European universities, networks, digital initiatives and specialized experts, to design digital tools together creatively, through collaborative models of experimentation and work.
The opening of the two-day workshop, Digital Escape Meeting, was carried out by the Vice-Rector of Academic and Student Affairs, and scientific co-ordinator of ERUA, Professor Elena Theodoropoulou. The workshop was attended with interest by the Rector of the University of Aegean Professor Chryssi Vitsilaki, the Vice-Rector of Administrative Affairs, Professor Dimitrios Papageorgiou, as well as members of the academic, research and administrative community of the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering in Syros.
Associate Professor Petros Kavassalis, from the Department of Financial and Management Engineering, and Scientific Coordinator for action 5.1, “Developing and adopting common digital tools for connectivity” presented the specific objectives and the schedule of proceedings for the two-day workshop.
The research team of this action, specifically researcher Katerina Ksystra, researcher Nikos Triantafyllou, and Professor P. Kavassalis, with Professor Andriana Prentza (University of Piraeus and Member of the ERUA Advisory Board), interacting with participants, developed a two-day experimental workshop to create the ERUA digital identity and its associated potential services.
Digital tools, applications and initiatives for digital connectivity of university communities were presented during the six sessions. Specifically, the following presentations took place:
- Professor Teresa Mackinnon, (University of Warwick) ‘The methodology and practice of virtual exchange’
- Charles EVRARD (representative of the Ulysseus Alliance) ‘The model of digital collaboration of the corporate network’
- Expert Victoriano Giralt, (University of Malaga and member of the ERUA Advisory Board) ‘New developments for applications and tools in the context of Erasmus+’
- The experts, Alen Horvat, Luís Alfons Ariño (European Blockchain Services Infrastructure), Dr M. Gottlieb (Technical University of Munich), Jamie Smith (Avast, Inc.): ‘Initiatives and Applications of Digital Identities and Credentials’ (EU eIds, Digital Wallet(s), Digital Academic Credentials, the DiBiHo Network, the EDSSI project, Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials in the travel domain)
The proceedings of the two-day ERUA “Digital Escape Meeting” in Syros resulted in a joint agreement between the Alliance members to establish a common identity infrastructure “ERUA:ID”, serving as an accepted recognition mechanism within the Alliance.
Students and academic staff of the Alliance will be able to use the ERUA:ID to authenticate and gain access to any ERUA service, further enhancing the virtual exchange experience provided by the Alliance
ERUA:ID will interface with existing student registers and university identification systems and will be made available to a range of Wallet applications (Jolocom and lissi.ID). The ERUA identity holder will have access to the services included in ERUA DServX, (a common digital service space for courses, online classes, summer/winter schools, virtual exchange seminars, etc.) with enhanced data protection conditions. The same certification mechanism will be used to maintain verifiable records of student learning attainment.
The integration strategy for connecting ERUA digital services to ERUA DServX was also outlined, as well as the steps for implementing the proposed architectural solutions.
At ERUA, we are building a new culture of digital reality, principally for our students and university communities.
