Standards

Rome Student Systems and Standards Group

Digitary is one of three European companies that co-founded RS3G in Rome in November 2007 to promote the development and implementation of standards for data and practices in international student mobility and employability.  The group influences what standards are developed and aims to be early implementers of the resulting standards. 

At a meeting in Amsterdam in April 2009, the group's steering committee was expanded to better represent institutional and sector interests and an advisory group to the steering committee was formed. The steering committee is:

Gunnar Backelin, LADOK Consortium of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (Sweden)

Jonathan Dempsey, Digitary (Ireland)

Jean Francois Desnos, President of European Universities Information Systems Association (France)

Manuel Dietz, QS unisolution (Germany)

Herman de Leeuw, European Association for International Education (Netherlands)

Simone Ravaioli, KION (Italy)

The advisory group to the steering committee is

Jan Martin Lowendahl, Gartner Research (Sweden)

David Moldoff, Post Secondary Education Standards Council (USA)

Mark Stubbs, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK)

RS3G is now a taskforce within both the European Universities Information Systems Association (www.eunis.org) and the European Association for International Education (www.eaie.org).
