Two projects awarded in NWO Data Science

NWO has funded two Technology Area projects in the Data Science Programme. In Technology Areas there is a collaboration between at least two companies and at least two research institutions. The projects are the following:
• PROMIMOOC: Online procesbeheersing door big data mining - Prof. dr. T.H.W. (Thomas) Bäck, 16.03.1963, Universiteit Leiden - Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS);
• ODEX4all: Een ‘kleine oplossing’ voor grote hoeveelheden data - Prof. dr. B. (Barend) Mons, 06-07-1957- LUMC, Humane Genetica.

Data Science: Challenging Big Data aims to encourage collaboration between research institutions and private partners in order to innovate in and with the creation, management, searchability and use of large datasets. The substance of the research projects should be consistent with the ICT Roadmap. All projects should focus on a question put forward by one or more companies. The call aims specifically to bring smaller innovative companies into contact with research institutions. The programme is temporarily closed for applications. The last deadline April 11, 2013.
