Call for proposals SURF Education Days
It's your move! The call for proposals for Education Days 2025 is open and that means you can submit your ideas for a presentation, birds-of-a-feather session, a panel discussion or a workshop.
Your proposal fits within one of the five themes linked to the Education Days. They are:
- Tools for good teaching
- Own learning route in practice
- Digital foundation
- Art of knowledge sharing
- Step into the future
Read the detailed description per theme below
The teacher needs tools to deliver education well. To keep using the learning environment, learning materials, tests and the right mix in them in the best possible way, these tools need to be constantly renewed and good support is essential. How do we pool our innovation for tomorrow's education?
Think about:
- Edusources, SURFsharekit, copyrightCheck
- Content creation teams
- Domain architecture learning resources
- Collaborations
- OpenUp best practices
- Boost your collection of best practices
Together, we are moving towards an agile organised education system: one in which all pupils and students - both the initial student and the lifelong learner - have control over their own learning route. And in that route, students have more and more choices.
Think of:
- EduID, Eduxchange and Edubadges applied
- Microcredentials best practices
- National sector facility for Registration, Enrolment and Enrolment
- Alliances, University of the North, Green Power, 4TU etc.
How do you build systems and share that data and information between systems while maintaining ownership and sovereignty? Because without data, no information. And how do you get information from data?
Think about:
- HOSA / HORA / MOSA / MORA / target architecture
- Open by design
- Use of (open) standards
- Collaborating with commercial parties while maintaining sovereignty
Knowledge is the key to progress and knowledge sharing is more important than ever. How do we effectively use our research capabilities for innovation? How do we jointly create a learning culture and promote collaborative learning and innovation?
Consider:
- CTL
- Learning capacity
- Community building
- Teacher support
- Research capacity
- Promoting evidenced-based working
- Change management
- Findability
Future music is already resonating in education. Think of start-ups shaking up the field with fresh ideas, thinkers venturing into future scenarios, and groundbreaking technologies such as quantum tech and robotics. We look at national and international trends that are helping shape the education landscape. From 'wild cards' to immersive immersive experiences: by listening carefully, we are aligning our education with the future.
Think about:
- Start-ups
- Future thinking
- Quantum tech
- (European/International) trends
- Robotics
- Immersive experiences
- Wild cards (out of the box session on innovation and experiments)
Planning
The call for proposals is open until 2 June 2025. After that, the experts from the various disciplines and SURF's programme committee will assess the submitted sessions. At the end of June, you will hear by e-mail whether your session will be programmed or not.
