Securing e-mail traffic involves a lot. For instance, educational institutions must ensure that their users can send and receive e-mails securely. Failure to do so can cause problems. Ed van Gasteren, IT service manager at the University of Amsterdam, knows all about it. He explains how the UvA uses SURFmailfilter to bundle and secure outgoing mail flows.

What happens to a building in an earthquake? İhsan Bal, professor of earthquake resistance at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, can map this out at lightning speed thanks to research with the SURF Research Cloud.

The VU, UU and RUG jointly developed a VR teaching method to let law students argue in a very realistic setting, called PleitVRij. The teaching method is a success, but further development and scaling up does not happen by itself. What is involved and what has been achieved in the project 'Learning with Virtual Reality: The Next Level'?
