Setting the right tone for the future together will be central during the education & IT event of the year: the SURF Education Days on 12 and 13 November. During the 26th edition, we inspire participants to look ahead and outline the educational developments that will become relevant in the coming years.
Looking back at SURF Education Days 2023
Working together to improve and future-proof education was at the heart of the 25th edition of the SURF Education Days. This year, you could experience how to prepare for the future as an education professional during the many sessions, activities during the Unconference and inspiring keynotes.
