In 2011, the German Ministry of Higher Education entrusted him with spearheading the launch of that country’s first cooperative university as vice-president, a groundbreaking initiative that today educates 35 000 students. His innovative spirit led him to establish NextEducation in 2017, an international boutique-research group dedicated to future skills, microcredentials, and digital transformation in higher education.
Additionally, he held the position of scientific director at the Future Learning Laboratory at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology until 2023. He was elected vice-president of the European Association of Institutes of Higher Education for three terms until 2023. He has also been elected director of the Executive Council of the European Distance and E-Learning Network until 2023.
