About Netherlands e-Science Center

Some appropriate content should go here. The Netherlands eScience Center is the Netherlands’ national centre for research software. As an independent foundation with around 100 passionate people, we empower researchers and challenge them to do ‘eScience’ better or differently.

We are a centre of research expertise that since 2012 has been uniquely positioned as an independent foundation, financed by NWO – the Dutch Research Council – and SURF, the Dutch organization for IT in education and research. The core activities of the eScience Center are carried out by Research Software Engineers (RSEs). RSEs are high-end, university-level specialists who do two things: they do research using digital technologies and methodologies, and they engineer software.

Our vision is a thriving research community where researchers in all disciplines can make use of advanced software, computing and digital technologies, keeping the Netherlands at the forefront of research.
