CEnet is excited to present Synergy 2025, an event designed to foster exploration of opportunities for collaboration among the CEnet eLearning Working Group (eLWG) and the CEnet COG. The event will highlight the benefits of diverse partnerships to achieve success in the digital learning space. Attendees will have opportunities to explore how educators and technologists can support each other to enhance student learning. Synergy 2025 will also encourage participants to identify key opportunities, messages and actions that would support imperatives within their local contexts.

We extend an invitation to current members of the COG and eLearning Working Group, along with colleagues working in this space, to join the discussion.
