Smart campus: getting started with the best insights and experiences
Challenge and opportunities
For institutions, taking steps towards a smart campus is a major challenge. A smart campus helps make better use of buildings, optimise services and seek cooperation with education and research. It requires courage and commitment from administrators, directors, real estate, facilities, educational logistics, IT, and of course students and staff to seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
Bringing all insights together
Many educational institutions aim to create an efficiently designed and sustainable campus. To support this, we have compiled all relevant knowledge and experience in the document 'Vision of smart campus'.
Using five core principles, we provide a clear structure: user-centred design, interoperability, preventing vendor lock-in, modular architecture, and security and privacy. Each principle is explored in depth and explained in practical terms.
Real-world examples
With shared experiences from VET colleges, universities of applied sciences and universities, we paint a realistic and practical picture of how a smart campus can work in the future. We offer use cases and actionable recommendations you can start working with straight away.
