4. SURF: IT innovation by and for higher
education and research
Research universities, universities of
applied sciences, and research institutions
work together in SURF, in order to
• Improve the quality of research and
education
• By creating pioneering IT innovations
For 25 years, collaboration within
SURF has led to products and
services that the participating
institutions could not have
achieved on their own

9. The SURF Approach
• A project must involve collaboration
between a number of institutions
• A project must be in line with the
policy of the institutions that
implement it
• Institutions make their own financial
contribution to the project
• The results of the project can be
freely used by all higher education
and research institutions
