Defining quality in digital education: Insights from Europe
22 Jan 2026 | 16:00 - 16:30
What policies are needed to ensure effective and equitable digital education? How can we strengthen trust in research-backed solutions? And what role can universities play in bridging policy, practice, and innovation?
This high-level panel brings together leading policymakers and experts to explore how international standards and quality frameworks can drive the next phase of education. The discussion will focus on the dual role of Higher Education institutions — both as beneficiaries of advanced learning technologies and as key contributors to research and evidence in the EdTech ecosystem.
Attendees will leave with practical insights on how clear quality benchmarks can drive smarter policy, evidence-based product design, and more effective digital education systems.
