Welcome to Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge Exchange is a co-operative effort that supports the use and development of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) infrastructure for higher education and research.

The Knowledge Exchange partners are:

• Denmark’s Electronic Research Library (DEFF) in Denmark
• German Research Foundation (DFG) in Germany
• Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the United Kingdom   
• SURFfoundation in the Netherlands

The Knowledge Exchange partners express a common vision based on our four national strategies:

To make a layer of scholarly and scientific content openly available on the Internet.

Making this vision a reality means creating the building blocks for a European information environment that is

outstanding in its support of research and higher education, bringing Europe together while extending the

reach of European research and teaching around the globe.
