SURFsharekit is an online platform that allows educational institutions to store, manage, and share their digital collections and teaching materials. It is widely used by universities and universities of applied sciences to make research outputs, theses, publications, and educational resources sustainably accessible. In this way, SURFsharekit functions as a central repository where knowledge is clearly organized and easy to find.

Through the platform, users can search collections by subject, program, or institution. It supports a variety of file types, including documents, images, and audiovisual materials. This makes it suitable not only for traditional publications but also for richer forms of educational content.

A key feature of SURFsharekit is its focus on long-term preservation and accessibility. Institutions retain control over their own collections, while the platform provides a reliable and secure infrastructure. Materials can also be enriched with metadata and access rights, making it clear who is allowed to view or use the content.

By enabling the sharing and archiving of knowledge, SURFsharekit contributes to transparency, collaboration, and reuse within education and research. It helps institutions manage their digital content more effectively and increase its visibility to a wider audience, both within and beyond their organization.
