PION is a network organization in formation for computer science education in Dutch schools (secondary education) in which all relevant stakeholders in the field of computer science education at secondary schools are represented.

PION’s mission is to facilitate high-quality and attractive computer science education and education in digital literacy at secondary schools in the Netherlands. PION wants to do this by offering structured and integral support for development of education, training of sufficient qualified teachers, conducting research into this, and disseminating knowledge. PION is a recognizable ‘face’ regarding computer science education at school.

The objectives of PION are:

• Quality assurance for teaching materials for the elective modules of the computer science examination program
• Increasing the intake of students in computer science teacher training
• Development of the learning area of ​​digital literacy
• Creating visibility for computer science teacher training
• Promoting coherence in the research of computer science education
• Stimulating cooperation and facilitating and bundling of initiatives in the field of computing education in Dutch schools and the research of computing education
• Good provision of information inside and outside schools with respect to computing education
• Being an address for international cooperation with regard to policy, education, and research in the field of computing at school

The Applied ICT Research (PRIO) platform strives for optimal collaboration between ICT research groups at universities of applied sciences, between education and practice-oriented research, and between researchers, companies and social institutions. We encourage collaboration between national bodies and research at universities of applied sciences by bringing people together on various themes. 16 universities of applied sciences are affiliated with PRIO, represented by more than 70 professors (‘lector’ in Dutch). The platform’s activities are currently grouped into five themes: Learning & Education, Responsible Application of Data & AI, Digital Cities & Communities, Health & Wellbeing and Cybersecurity.

Algorithms research concerns the development of new methods to solve complex computational problems. The focus is on methods that allow a proof of correctness in all cases, and a proof of good scaling behaviour of the resources they need (for example, time), when operating on increasingly larger data sets. This implies that these methods can be used in applications where reliability of the computed results is crucial. Algorithms research includes computational problems on graphs, geometry, combinatorial structures, topological structures, and strings.
