DSC/eData Science Center Eindhoven

Turning data into real value

29-10-2013

Data Science Center Eindhoven

New initiative of Department of Math & CS of TU/e, in cooperation with EIRICT.

Goal is to unite available expertise at TU/e (computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, innovation sciences, and industrial design) to attack real-life data science problems beyond individual/group expertise.

Public start on December 2, 2013 with Launch Symposium.

DSC/e: Data Science Center Eindhoven

• DSC/e strives to be an internationally leading expertise center when it comes to data science research and education.

• Research focuses on developing new insights (models, theories, tools) to be able to add and extract value from real sets of heterogeneous data.

• Education focuses on the skills and scientific knowledge most relevant for tomorrow's data scientist.

• DSC/e:− should further strengthen data science research,− should make data science an integral part of TU/e educational

programs, − should improve visibility of data science @ TU/e (inside and

outside), and − trigger new collaborations with industry
