SURF Open Innovation Lab
Together with our members and partners, we explore technological innovation for education and research. The focus is on challenges of the day after tomorrow (2-5 years in the future). By experimenting with new technologies, we discover more about their possibilities and applications.
Future Computing & Networking
We focus on understanding and assessing new computing paradigms, architectures and ideas for accelerating scientific workflows together with the scientific community.
Edge-oriented Technologies
Edge computing is changing the way in which computing power is deployed: from centralised to decentralised. How will this trend develop? And what is the connection with, for example, IoT?
Data Processing & Data Management Technologies
Everything revolves around data. How do we ensure that we can (continue to) process, analyse and (re)use data safely and securely? We pay attention to, among other things, federated data sharing and a digital data exchange.
About the Lab
