The document summarizes the response of EADTU - EU Online Summit to the COVID-19 pandemic which has forced 90% of the world's student population into school closures. Their response included launching an emergency remote teaching portal in March 2020 which provides short resources in Spanish on key aspects of remote education. The portal includes 22 webinars with over 1,400 registrations for each of the first 6 webinars and 700-1,300 participants. Looking ahead, online learning will be more important and universities must collaborate to help education systems leverage digital learning opportunities.

6. A look into the future
● One of the few certainties in this moment
of uncertainty is that the future of learning will be
even more digital
● As OOF universities sharing our experience and knowledge, is the
best way to contribute to the Digital Agenda for Europe and
accompanying our European HE systems in leveraging the full
potential of OOF learning
● There is no better way to do this than in collaboration with other
universities and through networks like EADTU
