SURF Network & Cloud Event

Knowledge, choices and connectivity
The digital infrastructure of education and research is constantly evolving. New technologies such as automation, cloud-native solutions, edge computing and high-performance networking offer great opportunities, but also confront us with important choices. How do we ensure scalability and agility? Which technologies do we deploy? And how do we safeguard public values such as autonomy, transparency and reliability?
The choices we make today determine our technological freedom tomorrow. Cooperation and knowledge sharing within the sector are therefore essential to continue building a future-proof infrastructure.
