The National XR Day showcases a variety of immersive technologies developed by SURF member institutions and inspiring partners. The event aims to connect visitors who share a passion for immersive tech and are interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration. It also seeks to inspire attendees by highlighting the many possibilities these technologies offer.

Dive into the world of immersive technologies! This year we will be exploring the theme ‘shaping new realities’ that emphasizes the shaping of new human-centered immersive applications that are developed in cross-disciplinary collaboration.

With the ever-growing convergence of AI and XR, the National XR Day 2025 will emphasize on new applications of immersive technologies, which are created by the full potential of creative, practical, and analytical minds of the SURF member institutions and inspiring partners. The National XR Day 2025 aims to not only showcase the amazing work of the SURF member institutions but also bring together like-minded people with a passion for immersive technologies and the impact they can make. The National XR Day will be a place to learn from each other, inspire each other and build new opportunities to co-design and create our future realities emerging in education and research.
