It is not surprising that there is a very strong link between education and skills needed to utilize digital technologies in different spheres of life. An efficient, diverse, and strong higher education sector and research system will help the higher education sector to achieve this goal in the best possible way. Universities and faculties manage a significant portion of community resources and must use those resources effectively and for the benefit of society. Institutions will develop their positions according to their strengths and individuality and will contribute to higher quality and to other sectors of society. Furthermore, they will meet the needs of society in various fields and help each country to internationally affirm itself as an outstanding knowledge society. Digitalization is a tool for making fundamental changes in the processes, content, and various forms of work, which can put the education sector in a better position to achieve the goals of education and research, to increase quality and relevance in the approach to education for all.
