EDUDATA aims to strengthen the capacity of European education systems to make evidence-informed decisions in digital education by designing, piloting, and validating a multilevel governance model for digital education data.
The project begins with a transnational mapping of current data practices in primary and secondary education across four Member States - Greece, Cyprus, Romania, and Finland - alongside EU-level frameworks. This analysis identifies what educational data is currently collected, how it is used, and where gaps, overlaps, or ethical concerns exist.
In a context where digital learning is widespread but educational data remains fragmented and difficult to compare, EDUDATA introduces a research-informed, ethically grounded response. It proposes a shared governance structure that enables educational data - collected at the school level - to be interpreted and used at national and EU levels, while remaining sensitive to local priorities and legal frameworks.
The model’s architecture is designed for comparability and interoperability across systems, and structured to align with real-world governance needs in primary and secondary education. Through coordinated stakeholder consultations and a multi-country pilot, EDUDATA tests how educational data can be governed and used to support inclusive, ethical, and strategic decision-making.
The project is directly aligned with the Digital Education Action Plan (2021–2027) and responds to the 2023 Council Recommendation on enabling factors for digital education. EDUDATA offers a timely and practical contribution to one of Europe’s most persistent challenges: how to organise, align, and ethically use educational data to support high-quality digital learning systems across Member States.
Aim and Objectives:
Aim: The project supports more informed decision-making in digital education by exploring how educational data can be used more effectively, ethically, and interoperably through the mapping of current data ecosystems and the co-development of a multilevel governance model grounded in the realities of school, national, and EU-level contexts.
The EDUDATA Specific Objectives are: SO1: Map and analyse existing digital education data sources at EU and national levels to identify gaps, strengths, and governance structures. SO2: Engage relevant stakeholders - including policymakers, school leaders, and data experts - through structured consultations and an advisory committee to co-develop and validate all major project outputs. SO3: Conduct a legal, ethical, and technical review to ensure that all aspects of the project - and the resulting governance model - are compliant with GDPR, sensitive to AI-related risks, and designed to uphold privacy and equity in data use. SO4: Design a conceptual governance framework (EDUDATA Model) that outlines principles, roles, and processes for ethical and effective use of digital education data across governance levels. SO5: Pilot and validate the EDUDATA Model in diverse school settings to assess its usability, relevance, and impact on decision-making. SO6: Develop an interactive, multilingual online version of the EDUDATA Model to ensure broad accessibility, ease of use, and long-term visibility for institutional users across Europe. SO7: Strengthen institutional capacity and promote strategic engagement with the project’s findings through targeted workshops, a policy forum, a webinar, and tailored dissemination activities.
