About SURF
SURF is the ICT cooperative of Dutch education and research institutions. The members, the owners of SURF, join forces to develop or procure the best possible digital services, work together on complex innovation issues and develop and share knowledge with each other.
Organisation & governance
SURF is a cooperative with over 100 members. The members own SURF: together we set the course.
Our members are represented in the Members' Council, the highest body within the cooperative. The Members' Council appoints the Board of Directors, which, among other things, determines SURF's policy and strategy. In addition, the Supervisory Board and the Scientific Technical Council (WTR) are part of the organisational structure. The members of the WTR are also appointed by the Members' Council.
Each SURF member institution appoints a Coordinating SURF Contact (CSC). In addition, various communities and special interest groups (SIGs) are active within SURF.
