Part three –tentative conclusions

• All the building blocks are available• Getting different government bodies allignedNext step: • Put the smart people together• Have them commit to a timingPossible risk• A lot of partners have to commit (and be managed)• Other priorities?• Budget

Some general conclusions and observations

• Learning experience for other projects:– Identification– Privacy – Data portability

• A lot of work ahead:– Governance– Diplomacy– Communication– Semantics– Getting it done (small steps!)

Encouraging developements

• Official agreement Netherlands-Flanders: automatic regcognition of diploma’s

• Steps are being taken to make a joint study register
