Students expect convenience and freedom of choice, to study what they want, in their own time, place and pace. As long as they study, but also develop throughout life. Institutions need to offer the flexibility that students demand, for example by making the educational offer more flexible, facilitating student mobility and issuing digital certificates.

Educational logistics
What does flexible(er) education require from the educational organisation?
Organising education in a flexible way has a major impact on the organisation of educational logistics processes. If you start working with flexibility and as a result change the way you organise your education, this will automatically lead to adjustments in education logistics.

Student mobility pilot with UU, TU/e and WUR
The UU, TU/e and WUR are participating in a pilot project within the Studentmobiliteit project of the zone Flexibilisation of the Acceleration Plan. They are experimenting with the exchange of educational supply data within SURF's infrastructure in order to promote student mobility across educational and institutional boundaries.
Educational offer from own and other institutions
Students must be able to orientate themselves and enrol in the courses offered by their own and other institutions. SURF is starting to develop an infrastructure to promote student mobility across educational and institutional boundaries.
Open Education API: the road to flexible education
The Open Education API is an open standard for sharing educational data. Through this API, institutions make useful information available via apps, for example, such as curriculum, grade and timetable information.
Unique student identity
1 digital student identity to support lifelong development
The ambition is that in the future, students will be able to use eduID - during and after their studies - to log in easily and securely to any educational institution in the Netherlands. To this end, SURF is developing a secure and reliable architecture, in close consultation with the institutions and important stakeholders such as the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and Studielink.
Gaining experience with eduID pilots
By 2020, we want institutions to be able to use EDUID for specific target groups: enrolments, 'outside' students and alumni. Do you have a challenge for which you would like to deploy eduID?
