Description

We take you on our journey that started with a cry for help from the Ministry of Education and the members of SURF during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project has demonstrated that as an NREN we were the only party that had all the building blocks in place to make it happen. Federated authentication, procurement and legal experience and good personal relations were essential to deliver this new service. We developed a portal and logistic environment that allow students and staff to order the delivery of COVID-19 self-tests. Early 2022 more than 10,000,000 tests have been delivered to 600,000 individuals.
