Sander Duivestein gave his take on the future of cloud and AI. You got an insight into his view on digital transformation, ethics in AI and technological impact on society. Why ethical responsibility is essential, how to strategically look ahead and make the most of AI's role in a rapidly evolving digital world.
Together with its members, SURF developed the new cloud sourcing strategy, which provides guidance to members who want to explore the possibilities of cloud computing for education and research.
An update on what SURF and Npuls are working on in the field of EdTech, including procurement processes, projects, experiments and plans for the coming year.
A session on emerging technologies and social and economic forces that are fundamentally changing our understanding of cloud technology and how future implications of emerging technologies will continue to shape cloud technology.
The 'Save the Tiger, Save the Grassland, Save the water' project, deploys AI, remote sensing and spatial modelling to conserve tiger habitat in Nepal. This session provides insight into how to use Azure for data storage and processing, and a preview of the future development of a Python analytics framework.
GÉANT, together with SURF and others, is putting effort into the approach, planning and principles of the new IaaS+ tender for 40 European countries: OCRE 2024. In this session also the requirements that shape this tender.
IT Services (the joint ICT service for the University of Amsterdam and the University of Applied Sciences) shares experiences on the quest for less ecological cloud impact. A session on sustainability goals, awareness and decision-making, eco-dashboards and innovation. What sustainability opportunities does the cloud offer?
On how the new house rules increase the order and security of Azure cloud environments and mitigate future digital threats. Last year, a hefty hack at a cost of €2 million underlined the importance of a securely set up cloud environment.
This session will cover Gaia-X and IPCEI CIS, two large-scale initiatives setting up an Open Cloud Ecosystem with Cloud Federation. An overview of current and future developments, and a concrete demonstration of a cloud federation living lab based on Liqo.io. This living lab federates Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud vendors, based on different technology stacks, to eliminate vendor lock-ins.
Asimovo and SURF together explore possible collaborations to empower institutions and students in robotics. A session on our shared vision and how our cloud-based platform enables creativity and development in robotics.
