Bündnis für Bildung e.V.

The Bündnis für Bildung (BfB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing the digital transformation in teaching and learning in Germany.

The main mission of the BfB is to make the opportunities of digital media, tools, and communication methods more accessible and usable for all participants in the educational process. The organization is independent of companies and serves as a neutral interface between the education industry and the public sector. The work of the BfB is based on the values of interdisciplinarity, neutrality, and the inclusion of all relevant stakeholders in the educational landscape[1][2].

• Working groups and reference models: The BfB works in active working groups on reference models, solution approaches, and implementation models to support the transformation of digital education. The results of these groups are made publicly accessible[1][2].
• Events and fairs: Regular events such as the networking dinner at the didacta fair, member meetings, and the annual Digital Summit provide platforms for exchange and networking among all stakeholders in the educational landscape[1].
• Focus series "in focus": This series addresses current topics in digital education, including the Digital Pact, teacher training, school transformation, and technical solutions. Useful resources and current information are provided[1].

• Promoting digital education: The BfB is particularly committed to the development and implementation of standards and reference solutions for education and infrastructures in teaching and learning environments. This also includes supporting the Digital Pact for Schools and formulating position papers on its progress and future directions[1][2].
• Interoperability and data protection: Special working groups focus on topics such as interoperability and data protection to ensure that digital solutions in education are both efficient and compliant with data protection regulations[2].

The BfB is continuously engaged in current educational policy discussions. Examples include participation in education fairs such as LEARNTEC 2024 and the publication of position papers on digital and educational policy issues, particularly in the context of the EU election campaign and the development of Digital Pact 2.0[2].

Through its broad membership base, which includes IT companies, publishers, startups, educational institutions, and representatives of the public sector, the Bündnis für Bildung makes a significant contribution to shaping the future of education in Germany.
