SURFnet and Waag are organizing a competition focussed on apps for higher education and research. On August 15th, the contest starts at SURFnet in Utrecht.
Students, developers, employees of higher education, researchers and start-ups are welcome Wednesday August 15th from 8 pm to join the kick-off at SURFnet. During the kick-off, Niels Floor (Shapers) speak about his experience with translating educational challenges into practical applications.
Similar to Apps for Amsterdam, Apps On works with theme owners. Within 5 different themes they introduce specific educational challenges and issues that are gathered from their own field of expertise. Examples of themes are 'Online Collaboration', 'Lifelong Learning' and 'ePortfolio'. The kick-off provides an opportunity for a meet and greet with the theme owners.
