One of the work packages which Hanzehogeschool emphatically has a role, is Research and Training. In the Summer Academy teachers are trained by translating their knowledge back to their own schools.
The Summer Academy is given on 27-30 May 2013, as part of "Opening Up". This project aims to find better service to citizens and businesses through the use of social media and open data. The opening-up project started in October 2011 and lasts three years. Hanze University Groningen is an important partner in the project.
