Groningen Declaration

The Compostela Group of Universities signed up as a signatory to the Groningen Declaration in May 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Groningen Declaration Network is an international, nonprofit and voluntary network of like-minded organizations and individuals that want to make digital student data portability happen. The Network builds on this declaration, which wants to establish a global area of convergence on digital student data depositories, while respecting their autonomy and diversity. Furthermore, it wants to look into privacy rights, ownership of data, identification, access and forwarding/sharing of data, next to compatibility and comparability of data.
