The goal of D-TRANSFORM (http://www.dtransform.eu/) is to implement a training program for leaders of European universities (presidents, vice-presidents) focusing on the major role played by digital technologies and Open Educational Resources (OER) in the necessary transformation of their institutions. The premise is that e-education (digital pedagogy and training) can become a strategic tool for European universities, enabling them to be pedagogically more effective, more cost-effective, more attractive and able to meet the needs of the professional world with regard to youth training and life-long learning.
This webinar focused on a comparative survey between Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom on public digital policies and Dr. Szucs presented an overview on the business models for opening up education – Sustainability of MOOCs, OER and related online education approaches in higher education in Europe. The presentation also aimed to answer the question of whether Open Educational Resources are a lever for digital transition of higher education.

ALT-C 2012 Mainstreaming grass roots innovation in open educational practice:...Chris Follows
Process.arts, a grass roots web2.0 open educational environment for sharing day-to-day arts practice and research of staff and students, currently provides a new ‘open learning’ space to the University of the Arts London (UAL) that straddles the institution/educational (formal learning) environment and the social (informal learning) environment. It creates an ‘experimental’ space for open educational practitioners to develop and define a new language for open edu-social practice without conforming or being influenced by pre-existing academic structures and processes. The transition of process.arts into an official UAL service will test this model and raise questions as to how institutions successfully support and develop autonomous and independent grassroots innovation without homogenising innovation.
Background
Chris Follows initially developed Process.arts in 2008 with the support of UAL’s Centre for Learning and Teaching in Art and Design (CLTAD). Chris was awarded a secondment and fellowship to develop his ideas for creating an open educational web environment for arts staff and students to share and cluster rich media content and resources. Process.arts has been maintained and developed by Chris as a sustainable and independent system, through agile experimentation, small project support, voluntary support, stewardship and an open university SCORE fellowship project.
In 2012 UAL began the process of rebuilding its VLE framework, and process.arts was identified as a valuable resource that could fit into the University’s new portfolio of tools; consequently, process.arts is due to be officially introduced as a supported ‘service’ in September 2012.
However, the structure of process.arts does not map onto courses; meta data links user-generated pieces of openly licensed text, image, video and audio content together through individual profiles and subject specific interest groups. Like many web2.0 environments used for education, process.arts can neither really be described as a repository nor as a VLE. Because of this it provides a novel and alternative VLE environment that encourages and supports rich media experimentation and informal learning, a welcome alternative for many to commercial alternatives.
Conversion to a full service will provide a firm foundation for long term stability, integration wth other systems, support and growth. The project team is in the process of integrating the current informal agile development approach into a more formal in-house system. The team are addressing outstanding bugs, monitoring user interface changes and identifying outstanding functionality. There will inevitably be some loss of agile spontaneity although we aim to retain the overall grass root

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

• Budget of FP8 (2014-20): over €80 billion
14. Europe 2020
• The five key priorities now are:
– Raising the employment rate of adults
– Improved investment in research and development
– Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
– Reduction of early school leaving and increased rates of
completed third level education
– Reduction of poverty levels by 25%.
15. Flagship Framework initiatives
• Innovation Union: enhanced innovation and research funding
• Youth on the Move: higher education performance improvement
• Digital Agenda for Europe: high speed internet improvement
• Resource Efficient Europe: improved energy efficiency and renewable
resources
• Industrial Policy and Globalization: improved business competitiveness and
sustainability
• Agenda for new Skills and Jobs: modernized labour market and mobility
• EU Platform against poverty: improving access for unemployed citizens
16. Funding environment
Those contemplating engagement with European funding
measures need to forge creative alliances, explore new
avenues for project work and significantly expand their
conceptual and programmatic horizons to access the
resources that are available.
This necessity raises significant issues around
familiarization, capacity and networking.
17. Criteria for future funding
• Results oriented measures (indicators, reporting, monitoring and evaluation)
• Performance frameworks (clear and measurable milestones and targets)
• Coordination with national reform programmes (this will have particular
emphasis in Ireland)
• Coordination and shared access to funds (from ESF and ERDF)
• Effectiveness (performance measurement frameworks)
• Efficiency (administrative capacity, reduced bureaucracy).
18. Caution
All EU programmes depend for co-funding both at national level (from
Member States) and at operational level by lead or participant
partners.
The increasing likelihood that core co-funding may not be available or
else severely restricted in the years ahead strongly tempers
expectations that EU funding could or should be viewed in any sense
as a replacement for other sources – sources both expected and
demanded by EU conditions for lending support.
19. Thematic Objectives (2014-20)
• Research and innovation
• Competitiveness for SMEs
• Employment and labour mobility support
• Social inclusion and combating poverty
• Education, skills and lifelong learning
• Institutional capacity building.
20. Future shape of EU funding strategy
All project proposals must provide an evidence based case for funding
based on research, track record, capacity and demonstrable need.
All dimensions must correspond to both national and EU priorities.
These priorities can and do mutate over the lifetime of specific funding
mechanisms.
Responsibility is clearly placed on project promoters to familiarize
themselves with requirements and to ensure proposals align closely with
aims and objectives set by EU funders.
This process in itself demands a high degree of awareness and contact
with EU resources and information points.
21. Running the show: the EACEA
– Operational responsibility for the Lifelong Learning
Programme
– Responsible for Erasmus Mundus Programme
– Responsible for Tempus Programme
– International bilateral cooperation: e.g. Atlantis (with United
States)
– Operates Culture Programme
– Operates Media Programme
– Operates Europe for Citizens
– Operates Youth in Action Programme
22. Getting the balance right
Project promoters must ensure that they are conversant with current
policy frameworks, identified priorities and specified target areas for
allocation of EU resources.
Getting an effective match between what promoters and EU bodies
want is part of the system of coordination and learning underpinning all
European actions.
This may be frustrating to project partners who may have a sense of the
urgency and importance of their mission but not necessarily the
resources, time or research background to scope what is available and
potentially appropriate to their requirements.
23. Funding focus
All EU funding is described as support co-funding. It is not in
any way core funding.
As part of a coherent overall strategy, a menu of connected
resources, it can and should play a critical difference in
developing the profile and professionalism of participant
organizations in maintaining and enhancing operations.
24. Skills relevant to EU funding and project
management
– Research
– Proposal writing
– Capturing learning
– Transnational partnerships
– Networking opportunities
– EU specific terminology
– The innovation imperative
– Report writing
– Transversal linkage
– Evaluative capacity (internal and external)
– Outcomes and deliverables
– Selecting appropriate strands

• EU Funding offers significant opportunities
• EU funding is not a substitute but a supplement
• The non-finance resources offer as much if not more
• Transnational action is the only viable method in a
globalized world
• No substitute for professionalism and expertise
• All rests on vision and passion for community needs
