There is a growing awareness in society and education that the deployment of intelligent technology requires reflection and guidance to exploit opportunities and manage risks, which the technology also entails.

What SURF does
![Onze focus 2022-2027](/files/styles/paragraph_image_narrow/public/2022-07/focus.jpg?h=436b82d4&itok=Hux5ZDct)
Much is changing in social, technological and economic terms. Dutch education and research are working together in SURF to meet these challenges. As a cooperative, we stand strong together. Read how we contribute to Dutch education and research today and tomorrow so they can excel.
Towards a more transparent SURF service

In 2020, we launched 1SURF. While all our services - think of the SURF network, the supercomputer and all the joint procurement and tendering processes - continued as usual, we set up a renewed organisation. As a result, we are now delivering a number of service harmonisation projects.
SURF and CSR

SURF works on developments that are important for future generations. That is why we want to contribute to sustainability in the education and research sector. In addition, sustainability is an integral part of our services. We have an ambitious corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy.

To meet all the challenges in research, education and society, innovation is crucial for SURF and its members. The SURF Innovation Lab brings together all activities and experiments in early innovation and open collaboration. We do this together with institutions and companies.
