SURF and Microsoft collaborate in higher education
SURF – the higher education and research partnership for network services and ICT – is joining with Microsoft to make the Live@edu online collaboration environment available to the Dutch higher education sector.
Students and staff will log in from their own institutional account via the SURFfederatie authentication platform. This gives them quick and easy access to a variety of free online communication programmes.
Within the next few months, Tilburg University (UvT) will be the first institution to provide this new service for students. If the introduction is successful, UvT will be followed by other institutions.
