The Future of Education Consortium
About
The Future of Education Consortium is a dynamic community of forward-thinking educators, technologists, and visionaries dedicated to shaping the future of education. Join us as we embark on an exciting journey to revolutionise learning, empower students, and transform education as we know it.
With team members based in different European countries, including the UK and Europe, this Consortium will help you learn quickly, share your experiences, benchmark your organisation, keep up with developments, and challenge assumptions to “stretch the envelope” in a confidential and trusting community.
For the FoE Consortium, the Cambridge-based Centre for Business Innovation (CfBI) is partnering with European Diplomats, a Commercial Diplomatic Consultancy based in Tallinn. European Diplomats have profound experience in education digitalisation and Business-to-Government relations across Europe.
How it works

We are delighted when Consortium members:
- Do deals (or recruit new talent!) having become acquainted with each other through the Consortium
- Join together to lobby or work together on white papers
- Come forward with proposals for additional work which the Consortium might undertake
- Introduce us to colleagues/peers interested in our work
Provisional themes which have been put forward by prospective members for FoE Consortium meetings include:
- Blended learning
- Adaptive learning and individualisation to students’ needs
- Gamification in education – how to make learning more interactive
- Artificial Intelligence – how to use benefits while moderating its challenges
- Digital literacy and adult and lifelong education
- Equitable access to technology – ensuring everyone can benefit from education technologies
- Cybersecurity and data privacy
