Why the SURF Education Awards?

Information technology, online education, artificial intelligence and digital learning materials are playing an increasingly significant role in education. It is crucial for educational institutions to keep up with these developments in order to provide students with the best possible education. This is only achievable thanks to the dedication of individuals within the education sector. We are looking for innovators in education who are making a substantial contribution to educational innovation with IT. With the annual SURF Education Awards, we give them a platform to increase their impact and reach—and to inspire others.
