Description
SURF and Npuls collaborate to explore the crucial role of Educational Technology (EdTech) in Dutch higher and vocational education. They address challenges including mismatched demand and supply, inefficient lifecycle management, and overreliance on (major) suppliers. Through initiatives like the EdTech Pilothub, they promote innovative collaboration models, streamline procurement processes, and enhance EdTech visibility. Projects such as the EdTech Marketplace and Startup In Residence (SiR) EdTech program facilitate partnerships between institutions and startups, fostering co-creation of solutions. Initiatives like the Value Compass and Collaborative Trust Framework promote discussions on values and trust, ensuring procurement aligns with public values. SURF's efforts ensure procurement adheres to established ethical standards, fostering an inclusive digital learning environment in the Netherlands.
