Case studies

Saxion University of Applied Sciences developed a MOOC on Business Analytics in which students can get hands-on with fictional data from real companies

With a background as an engineer and product developer, Ivo Kothman knows better than anyone that innovation does not come without a struggle.

ORFEUS worked with SURF on data replication. This makes research data easier to manage and share within European research infrastructures.

Researchers at the VUmc sometimes reach the capacity limits of the private Cloud, which is why it is connected to SURFsara's HPC Cloud.

Water management research projects require a lot of computing power, which is why researchers use the HPC Cloud.

The software of Alexandre Bonvin tries to predict how molecules communicate. For this he uses computing power from all over the world.

Willem Bouten (UvA) studies the behaviour of birds. In the process, he has traded in binoculars for GPS trackers, which allow him to follow them 24 hours a day.

Of course, fieldwork should not be missing from an earth sciences study. Yet that very subject has been under pressure for years due to a shortage of lecturers with a field geology background and an increase in student numbers. Utrecht University therefore developed an app that supports students in supervising fieldwork, allowing the lecturer to focus on the complex questions and reflection.
