SURF Research Day 2026
SURF Research Day brings together research, IT and innovation in one national conference. Through inspiring talks, interactive sessions and practical workshops, you gain new insights and connect with researchers and research supporters.
- Gooiland, Emmastraat 2, Hilversum
This year’s main theme is ‘Connecting Minds’. Behind the scenes, we are currently working hard on creating a varied programme with engaging keynotes. As soon as the programme is finalised, we announce it here.
Eveline Crone, internationally renowned professor and Spinoza Prize winner, is keynote speaker at SURF Research Day 2026! Drawing on her research, she will explain how Connecting Minds works in practice. Connecting knowledge and infrastructure helps us better understand how young people grow up in a complex society.
