A national task force is being set up for a partnership with higher education on digitalization issues for the Dutch government. These issues will be addressed in field labs among other places. The steering group 'Strengthening Collaboration Dutch Government with IT Educators in Higher Education' expressed commitment to this during the meeting on October 2.
This task force is partly the result of a study carried out by Dialogic on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. The study revealed that higher education and the Dutch government can help each other by collaborating in education and research. The project group 'Strengthening RO-HO Collaboration' developed a plan to enhance this partnership with input from the steering group and the study.
Part of the collaboration involves the Dutch government's participation in at least two to three field labs in the coming year. Here, the partners will work together on innovative solutions for urgent digitalization issues. For example, strengthening defenses against cybercrime to protect online personal data.
