  35. SURFconext – a new-generation collaboration infrastructure
    – became operational in 2011. SURFconext links together the
    services and tools of a large number of providers and institutions.

    Telecom operator KPN and SURFnet concluded an agreement for a joint
    study into improved integration of mobile data networks. The aim is to
    build knowledge and gain experience working with new ‘fourth generation’
    (4G)mobile networks. The connection will be based on eduroam
    authentication.

    In the course of 2011, SURFnet laid the foundations for the new
    generation SURFnet7 network infrastructure.

    In March, CTO Erik-Jan Bos left SURFnet after more than 23 years.
    SURFnet’s Managing Director Kees Neggers announced in the
    summer that he would be leaving us on 1 July 2012, when he
    reaches retirement age. The General Board of the SURF Foundation
    has therefore decided on a change in the management structure
    of SURFnet as of that date. The management will then consist of
    Erwin Bleumink (Chief Executive Officer), Karen de Bruijn (Chief
    Financial Officer), and Erik Huizer (Chief Technology Officer).
  37. The services mentioned in section Collaboration Support Services include also services offered by our sister organisations within SURF.
    The other sections are based on information of SURFnet.
