Our vision
“To make a layer of scholarly and scientific content openly available on the Internet”
Noordwijk aan Zee October 2011BIK 22 January 2013
KE Approach
By sharing knowledge, exploring differences, collaborating and promoting international dialogue, the Knowledge Exchange seeks to:
• Increase the return on national investment in ICT infrastructure, services and projects in higher education and research
• Add genuine value to the activities of the partners
• Support the European agenda by promoting better access to information resources in higher education and research
• Create the optimal virtual environment for the Higher Education and Research Community who need to choose from a wide array of possible technologies and approaches
