4th National eScience Symposium - Science in a Digital World

4th National eScience Symposium - Science in a Digital World
13 October 2016
Amsterdam ArenA
Early Bird tickets are available until 15 July

'Science in a Digital World' is a day-long event where scientists and researchers from different fields meet to discover how digital technology impacts scientific practice. The symposium will feature five thematic sessions showcasing world-class data-driven and compute-intensive research in different fields

Digital technology cross-cuts all scientific domains. Our understanding of the Universe, dealing with the challenges of climate change and discovering new energy sources, analyzing population dynamics, or tracking athletes' performances are just a couple of areas where digital technology is being used to enhance scientific research. 

The cross-cutting aspect means that technologies used in one field can be applicable across other fields. This annual symposium is an opportunity to meet with researchers (from academia and industry), students, data scientists, scientific administrators, CIOs and CTOs dealing with the challenges and potential of digital technologies; from the humanities to physics and beyond.
