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.
