Digital autonomy | How to move from Ambition to Action? SURF Research Day 2026

How can you reduce undesirable dependency on external digital platforms, tools and infra and take greater control of your research? In this interactive Challenge Session, you’ll explore the future of digital autonomy in an open space together with researchers, experts and peers. This is not a passive talk, it’s a dynamic, thought-provoking discussion where your perspective, thoughts and experience matter. Together, we’ll explore the impact of technology, the role of policy, and the power of the research community. Join us in this open discussion and let's connect our minds! **Annette Langedijk (SURF) will moderate this discussion.**
