Technology Infrastructure 

Professional tech landscape

To achieve the ambitions for the future of tertiary education, the Netherlands acutely needs a professional tech landscape, with the corresponding architecture. Npuls is working with tech partners to develop high-grade technology infrastructure, which educational institutions can then adopt for themselves. If they need help, they can call on assistance from Npuls’s adoption team. We are creating a tech infrastructure for the sector to optimise mutual cooperation: between institutions, within institutions and with the labour market.
