What Is a Working Group?

Working Groups are focused, member-driven hubs within the EEA dedicated to advancing specific strategic priorities.
They bring together practitioners, experts, and decision-makers to collaborate on defined topics that matter to the European EdTech ecosystem. Each group operates with a clear scope, regular engagement, and outcome-oriented goals.
Working Groups are designed to:

  • Exchange practical knowledge and best practices

  • Identify shared challenges across markets

  • Develop tangible outputs (frameworks, playbooks, events, policy input, pilots)

  • Strengthen the collective voice of the ecosystem in key domains

Participation is active and contribution-based. Members shape the agenda, share expertise, and co-create solutions.

Working Groups are where collaboration turns into action.
