SURF presents Tech Trends 2026: which technologies will become important?
Published
SURF, the collaborative organisation of Dutch education and research institutions, has presented the Tech Trends 2026. In this report, the organisation describes which technological developments will become important in the coming year for universities, universities of applied sciences and researchers in the Netherlands.
According to the report, artificial intelligence and data security are receiving a great deal of attention. More and more institutions are using AI applications for education and research. At the same time, they must ensure that personal data is well protected and that the systems are reliable.
Collaboration between institutions also plays a major role. SURF emphasises that sharing computing power and digital facilities can be cheaper and more efficient than purchasing each system separately. In addition, new ways are being explored to make research data available securely and openly.
The Tech Trends are intended as a tool for policymakers and IT professionals in education. The report does not provide mandatory guidelines, but mainly aims to offer insight into what the sector can expect in the near future.
