Interoperability
To give students more flexibility when studying, including outside their own institution, products, systems and organisations must be able to cooperate and exchange information without restrictions. They must be 'interoperable'. This is often not yet the case. That is why SURF, at home and abroad, works together to increase interoperability.

Did you know that interoperability has a major impact on students' opportunities for development? What is the necessary improvement of processes at the 'back end' so that students at the 'front end' can choose and develop as freely as possible?

A common language for education
Case study
"Education is music, and the institution is the orchestra. My educational dream is that we find ways to play more harmoniously as an orchestra." Speaking is Pien Walraven, information manager at Radboud University since the end of 2022. With a lexicon for education, she wants to improve ensemble playing.
