    Working together to scale up in Uganda

    For Uganda's RENU, eduroam was the game changer. This NREN has big plans for it. In Uganda, you encounter the future everywhere. Because no country in the world has a younger population: as many as half of its 50 million inhabitants are under 16. And its surface area is six times the Netherlands. So providing Ugandan educational institutions with Internet is quite a job for RENU.

  • "If we want to work together, we need to speak the same language"

    Magazine
    Anyone comparing the robust activity in the port to the structured world of education would expect the focus on IT at the Rotterdam Port Authority to be miles away from that at SURF. In contrast, Claudia de Andrade de Wit, ultimately responsible for digital infrastructure, surprisingly names many areas of focus that will seem familiar to us.
