How To
Brace for Transformation: The Courage to Stick Together and Retain Autonomy
Date Thursday, Nov 28 Time – RoomChess
THIS IS A SIGN-UP SESSION *
In challenging global and national circumstances for educational institutions (budget cuts, international competition) it may seem best to “fight for yourself”.
In the Netherlands the culture to seek cooperation and work together is instead growing stronger. Educational institutes in the Netherlands have a strong tradition of working together in SURF. The programme Npuls offers an extra boost to stuctural cooperation.
The institutions do this, because they believe that through their commitment to the collective, they can continue to offer high-quality public education that is 'fit for future', and retain their autonomy in negotiations with commercial suppliers of (ed)Tech.
