Hotel Description

The eScience Center develops scientific software for Dutch academia. This is done by funding and participating in data-intensive research projects across all scientific disciplines. We welcome reseachers to contact us to explore possible collaboration.

Our core expertises are in the fields of :

  • optimized data handling (real-time data analysis, database optimization, data-interoperability, combining structured and unstructured data)
  • efficient computing (high-performance and distributed computing (e.g. cloud), heterogeneous computing, efficient algorithms, accelerator hardware (e.g. GPUs))
  • big data analytics (data exploration, analysis, data mining, machine learning, text analysis, natural language processing, statistics and visualization)

The Netherlands eScience Center was launched in 2011 as a unique collaboration between NWO, the principle Dutch scientific funding body and SURF, the Dutch higher education and research partnership for ICT. The center was initiated as a direct response to the Dutch government’s request to develop a sustainable, coherent and cost-effective eScience environment and digital infrastructure across all scientific disciplines.
