In December 2009, Dialogic conducted a quick scan of the investment plans of higher education institutions participating in the Sprint programme after 2010 in the field of science and technology.
The background of this quick scan is the VO-HO conference "Beta through the chain" on 14 January 2010. This conference focuses on strengthening networking and collaboration between secondary schools and higher education institutions. With the Sprint programme ending after 2010, it is relevant to assess to what extent higher education institutions intend to continue investing in networking and collaboration within the education chain.
Dialogic conducted rapid telephone interviews with the 30 higher education institutions participating in the Sprint programme - 13 universities and 17 universities of applied sciences. The results of this quick scan provide input for the mentioned conference. The aim is to indicate the extent to which the Sprint institutions will continue to invest in stimulating science and technology education, alignment activities, general collaboration and networking, with a particular focus on secondary education, after the programme concludes.
