Publieke waarden
Binnen onderwijs en onderzoek werken we met elkaar aan een veilige digitale omgeving. Hoe borgen we autonomie, rechtvaardigheid en menselijkheid in een wereld van toenemende digitalisering en afhankelijkheid van leveranciers? Publieke waarden leiden ons daarin om de juiste beslissingen te nemen. Op welke manier zijn deze waarden verweven met de activiteiten van SURF?
Digitalisering gaat niet alleen over prijs en functionaliteiten. Ook publieke waarden als autonomie, menselijkheid en rechtvaardigheid moeten we intergraal meewegen en in balans houden. Dán blijven we als sector aan het stuur.
Mastodon pilot
SURF and Universities of the Netherlands are jointly exploring Mastodon as an open source platform for education and research in the Netherlands. In which public values are paramount. We launched a pilot in February 2023. Join us and discover how students, researchers, staff and institutions can experiment with Mastodon in a low-threshold way.
Experimenting with Mastodon without effort
Mastodon is currently considered the alternative to Twitter. SURF and Universities of the Netherlands are therefore jointly exploring how a Mastodon environment for education and research in the Netherlands can take shape. We started a pilot in February 2023 for all institutions in WO, HBO, MBO, research and the UMCs. This way, they do not have to set up their own IT environment or acquire specific expertise.
Why have your own Mastodon server for teaching and research?
- Get started immediately as an institution and as a user: SURF hosts and maintains the server.
- Together we create a constructive community.
- We investigate the technology (fediverse, activity pub. etc.) and learn about it.
- Users may be anonymous, but are always traceable.
- You can create group accounts (useful for webcare teams, for example)
- We can express the public values we consider important
