About SURF
SURF is the IT 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.
What SURF does
Over the next few years, the SURF organisation will work with members to increase the quality of education and research with the help of ICT innovation. We will do this on the basis of the SURF Strategy 2022-2027 that has been drawn up. We will also work on a more transparent SURF service, undertake CSR activities and test technologies in the Innovation Lab.
