Know what's going on
During SURF Summit 2023, we will update you on what is going on in the field of ict within education and research, both within SURF and in the major national programmes. We will also dive into nature together and discover which of its operating principles we can use as inspiration for rethinking the way we innovate. That way, you step out the door up-to-date and with new inspiration.
Around the table
The afternoon is all about dialogue, exchanging experiences and finding solutions. To this end, we will actively engage in round tables with questions, dilemmas and keynote as a breeding ground.
