Universities of professional education and universities see themselves faced by challenging social, educational and operational tasks. The list of strategic themes is widely known: a pioneering role in innovation and in the development of the Netherlands as a centre of knowledge, serving an ever greater variety of target groups, offering more individual customised solutions as to form, place and time of teaching, etc. And all this on a limited budget. These challenges and objectives mean, among other things, high standards for the information household of HE institutions. In the past years the insatiable hunger for customised information has meant a strong increase in the complexity of the information households of HE institutions. It is becoming clear that a qualitative leap will need to be made so as to create and support a cohesive context in which the complexity can be controlled.
SURFfoundation develops a broad range of activities within the field of activity of information processes. SURFfoundation hopes that these activities will serve HE institutions in making choices in this field. The activities are basically practical in nature, in that packages are compared, but the policy aspect of the information processes is not forgotten.
The field of activities of Information Processes is divided into a number of domains. We have clustered the various activities developed by SURFfoundation into these domains. You can find them in the left navigation bar.
