> Dear readers
> This is the first major intellectual output from the EU D-TRANSFORM
> project, funded under Erasmus+ KA2 via the France node.
> It is entitled ?Public Digital Policies in Higher Education: A comparative
> survey between Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom?.
> The press release ? at
> http://www.dtransform.eu/public-digital-policies-in-higher-education-survey-report-available/
> ? notes that:
> The D-TRANSFORM project is a first attempt to set up a "University Leader
> Program" at the European level, addressed to university presidents and
> vice-presidents on the role of e-Education in shaping University strategies.
> The project team is to publish a series of surveys about digital
> transformation of higher education in Europe providing:
>   a.. the state-of the art on national policies [this report]
>   b.. the analysis of business models [to follow in a few weeks]
>   c.. the implementation of Open Educational resources [from the
> leadership standpoint, expected also quite soon]
> To make a change from the outpourings of UK experts it is refreshing and
> useful for experts in Spain, Italy and UK to see the French perspective on
> what national governments have done in this area and also their perspective
> on the European agenda.
>
>
> For the actual report in English see
> http://www.dtransform.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/O1_A1_Eng.pdf

> The report is available also in French -
