Five takeaways from the Groningen Declaration Network meeting in San Diego Oct 7-9. It was gratifying to see the progress connecting networks of likeminded - and learning of our many differences through the shared presentations at the annual convening. The development of key shared principles was socialized and reinforced by the Signatories, Patrons and Sponsors. 1. #interoperability is a broad objective that is wide and deep. The expectations asserted requires a fabric of trust we are building together at the GDN. The challenges of mobility across the P20W ecosystem are abstracted. GDN is enabling us to raise them to the surface - and aliging the will of the many to face them. 2. There is a dichotomy reflected in the GDN effort connecting countries, regions, wide-ranging practices and technologies spanning the varied personal lifelong learning journeys and traditional higher education emphasizes postsecondary education practices are shifting to skills and competencies sought by talent demand and modeled in National Qualification Frameworks. 3. The connection with the US Chamber of Commerce and the T3 Network is groundbreaking. P20W is adjusting to address the gaps in methods, standards and outcomes to enable sector campaigns, comparability, recognition, applicability, reuse, and stimulating a business aligned focus articulating the need for greater clarity and transparency. 4. The connection with Credential Engine is groundbreaking. CDTL is the Music Staff of the 21st Century that will stir a new renaissance of education and talent development for future generations to come. 5. The support of international leaders from UNESCO to national organizations such as DUO of the Netherlands, CSSD of China, to SAQA from South Africa is building awareness of connecting practices, emerging technology and the drive to innovate together across our boundaries. GDN expresses and reinforces the desire for exchange, comparative alignment and appreciation of differences in culture, politics, social, history and governance. To my growing fellow pioneers at this GDN meeting, thank you Jelger de Boer Joanne Duklas, Melanie Gottlieb, CAE, Ricardo (Rick) Torres, Kathleen Massey, MA, Victoriano Giralt, Simone Ravaioli, Julia To Dutka, Thomas Black, Navin Vasudev, Francisco Maldonado Altieri, Shelby Stanfield, Koichi Nakasaki, Chen Wenjun (Edward), Julie Reddy, Meg Wenger, Jeanne Kitchens, Scott Cheyney, Alex Jackl and Anthony Manahan Hope to see you all next year in Osloy...

David, thank you for your insightful analogy comparing CTDL to the music staff of the 21st century. I agree that both serve as frameworks for creating harmony across different systems (in the music case, the systems are instruments). However, there's a key distinction: while the music staff is a universal symbol-based language, CTDL relies on standardized terms that describe credentials, competencies, pathways, and transfer value (in the education data case, the systems are applications). CTDL’s value is amplified by its foundation on W3C standards, like RDF and JSON-LD. They enable linked data and ensure interoperability across platforms supporting any use case. The key CTDL enabler is a unique identifier for every term making content machine readable. This is the "glue" to link a credential to a competency to a pathway and to other data to represent a more holistic view of an individual’s capabilities and potential. It can be leveraged by educational institutions, employers, and learners themselves. CTDL is a critical tool for GDN members and their constituencies, enabling seamless integration of credential and learning data across systems worldwide.

🌍 Thank you to the incredible organizers of this impactful event on the future of European R&I! On November 13, 2024, I had the pleasure of joining experts and stakeholders at the Austrian Permanent Representation to the EU in Brussels for an insightful and forward-looking discussion on FP10, Europe’s next Research and Innovation Framework Programme. A huge thank you to Margit Noll (FFG), Marie-Therese Ettmayer (Wirtschaftskammer Österreich) and Karin Sommer (Wirtschaftskammer Österreich), and Cedric Adam for organizing such a thoughtful and dynamic event! As Horizon Europe approaches its final phase, we took a deep dive into FP10, with an emphasis on the ambitious goals needed to strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness. With a future scenario for Europe in 2035 as our launch point, we explored how targeted investments in R&I can foster a prosperous society and competitive economy. The event also offered a platform to discuss about findings on Europe’s innovation gap and the High-Level Group’s 12 recommendations to revitalize European R&I. Key Aims of Our plenary discussion: - Emphasize the need for a bold, well-funded FP10 - Provide a platform to exchange ideas for a robust European R&I policy - Gather essential insights to help shape a powerful FP10 aligned with Europe’s future goals Highlights included: The opening scenario presented by Kerstin Gronau (WKO), followed by a rich panel discussion moderated by Margit Noll (FFG) with perspectives from @Eszter Lakos (MEP, ITRE Committee), Conny Aerts (Professor, University of Leuven), and Allan Hanbury (Co-Founder, Contextflow). It was an honor for me to participate alongside such distinguished voices, sharing insights on building sustainable, innovative projects for Europe’s future. Thank you again to all the organizers and panelists for the fantastic exchange. #HorizonEurope #FP10 #ResearchInnovation #EuropeanCompetitiveness #SustainableFuture #AEEINTEC ##Ideatoaction

Earlier this week, our CEO, Ezechi Britton MBE, attended the Science and Innovation Banquet at Mansion House, organised by the City of London Corporation. The event was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of the incredible advancements and collaborative efforts in science and technology that are driving our future forward. As we reflect on the event, several critical themes and discussions stand out: 🔹The event showcased UK’s strengths and the collaborative spirit that drives us to excel on the world stage. It was a powerful reminder of CFIT’s commitment to expanding our influence in these critical fields. 🔹The partnership between Government, private sector, and academia was a focal point of the discussions. The importance of these collaborations in fostering a robust innovation ecosystem is key. 🔹 The future of innovation depends on a skilled and educated workforce. There were compelling discussions on how we can further invest in education and training to support the next generation of scientists and innovators. The event was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do at CFIT – to support and drive innovation that benefits everyone. #OpenFinance https://lnkd.in/eaFPJ7Xc

🌟Today we are delighted to announce the launch of 2 videos about the UK Reproducibility Network (https://www.ukrn.org/) and the value it brings to researchers and institutions alike.📽 The purpose of the UK Reproducibility Network is to enable researchers, institutions, and other stakeholders working in the UK to do better research, by collaborating and promoting rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research practices.📝 📼‘Why it matters: researchers share their passion for the UK Reproducibility Network’ (https://lnkd.in/edjfbsnQ) has researchers explain how being part of this network helps them connect with fellow researchers and share good practice. 📼‘Why institutions join the UK Reproducibility Network: insights from researchers’ (https://lnkd.in/eMtFEseb) explains the benefits for research organisations being part of this wider network. Both videos were recorded during a UKRN meeting at Newcastle University earlier this year and feature researchers who act as Local Network Leads championing rigorous, reproducible, and transparent research within their own institutions. These videos and others are available on UKRN’s YouTube channel (https://lnkd.in/excFSPkh)
