At a time when the digital transition is constantly transforming education systems, the need for reliable data is becoming increasingly important. Although schools, educational organizations, and public agencies collect large volumes of information every day, its use often remains limited and lacks common management standards.<\/p>\n
Why EDUDATA was created
\n<\/b>
\nThe EDUDATA project aims to fill this gap by developing a modern framework for educational data governance that will support more effective and equitable decision-making in education. Through collaboration among research organizations, educational authorities, and policymakers from various European countries, the project aims to transform data into a powerful tool for improving educational policy and practice.<\/p>\n
The project\u2019s main objective is to strengthen the capacity of European education systems to utilize data consistently, securely, and with a clear link to policymaking. Reliable data can help identify educational inequalities, better understand students\u2019 needs, and ensure the targeted allocation of resources and support.<\/p>\n
A common European framework for education
\n<\/b>
\nEDUDATA is expected to develop a common European framework that will enable the linking and utilization of data from the school level up to the national and European levels. During the first official meeting in Nicosia in May 2026, the partners mapped out the project\u2019s initial research activities, prioritizing the identification of digital education data sources in the consortium countries.<\/p>\n
Particular emphasis was also placed on brainstorming for the EDUDATA Model, the project\u2019s key deliverable, which will include processes and mechanisms for the governance of educational data, with a focus on the roles of the stakeholders involved, ethical safeguards, compliance with the GDPR, and interoperability between systems.<\/p>\n
The project also includes consultations with educational authorities and policymakers, a pilot implementation of the model in various school settings, as well as the development of an interactive and multilingual online version of the EDUDATA model, with the aim of its widespread use at the European level.<\/p>\n
