A genuine shared campus requires more than goodwill. It requires common infrastructure, shared standards, and technical interoperability across twelve institutions. EUNICoast is building that, through Work Package 6 (Digital Campus and Shared Infrastructure).
All 12 partner institutions are now using the EduGAIN federated authentication infrastructure, and all are developing course descriptions using the European Learning Model. These are practical steps towards making a shared digital campus possible.
EUNICoast's approach to the Virtual Campus is also gaining visibility in European forums. Work Package 6 (Digital Campus and Shared Infrastructure) leader Przemysław Korytkowski, from the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin (ZUT), has delivered two presentations within the European Higher Education Interoperability Framework Early Adopters group and the FOREU4ALL topical group on interoperability.
With authentication, course standards, and portal development all advancing in parallel, the shared digital campus is moving from concept to reality.
