In 2007, Dialogic conducted a network analysis for the Universum programme. This analysis ("Networking and Switching") focused on the Universum programme: all - at that time 100 - Universum schools were approached to inquire about their collaborations with other secondary schools and higher educational institutions in the field of STEM education, both at that time (spring 2007) and two years prior (2005). In "Fine Dining" (2009), the primary focus was on the 30 higher educational institutions participating in the Sprint programme, as well as the Jet-Net companies. The results of "Networking and Switching" and "Fine Dining" primarily constituted a snapshot in time.
This network analysis requests input from Universum schools, Sprint institutions, and Jet-Net companies on the extent of their collaborations, providing a more robust and longitudinal view: from the perspectives of secondary education, higher education, and the Jet-Net companies, as well as reflecting the developments over time. Initially, a significant advantage of repeated measurements seems to be to better capture the occurrence of an incubation effect. Furthermore, since the initial measurements, the number of institutions and companies involved in the Universum programme and Jet-Net has significantly increased. Currently, 183 secondary schools participate in the Universum programme, and the number of Jet-Net companies has also grown (to 50).
Dialogic is conducting a repeat of the network analysis for the Platform Beta Techniek, this time including all Universum schools, all Sprint institutions, and all Jet-Net companies. Additionally, it will inventory the extent to which the involved secondary and higher education institutions collaborate with primary schools.
