While not directly integrated into university degree programmes, SURF provides students with the opportunity to develop practical research skills related to knowledge they have acquired in class. Participating students receive an authentic research experience, which involves collaboration on research projects with academic staff. All students are required to present results of their projects at a public poster presentation event organised by the university. This case study is a partnership between Academic Enhancement Centre (AEC) staff, who organize and run SURF, SURF students, and a lecturer (M.B.N. Kouwenhoven), and it presents a reflection on their experiences of the SURF programme, and in particular on the notions of partnership and collaboration and the potential tension between those two concepts.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal for Students as Partners}, author={Huijser, Henk and Wilson, James and Wu, Yao and Qiu, Shuang and Wang, Kangxin and Li, Shun and Chen, Wenye and Kouwenhoven, M.B.N.}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={160–168} }
