As of today, we will no longer be active on X. This decision was made due to concerns about the increasing levels of misinformation and continued polarization on the platform. We are still on LinkedIn, Bluesky and Mastodon. More information here: esciencecenter.nl/news/netherlan…

Very happy that our new Nebula tool for building a website for training materials is being used by the community! Read the blog from Heidi in which she compares Nebula to other markdown-based course websites. buff.ly/4h7PFNm

Learn the basics of deep learning, including deep neural networks, data preparation, and convolutional layers during our (deep learning) workshop on 28-29 January in Amsterdam Science Park! buff.ly/3BZTMw6..

As the year comes to a close, we are sharing an early edition of our monthly roundup. Check out where our trainers have taught workshops, conferences our RSEs attended and symposiums where we connected with former Fellows. buff.ly/3ZE7ufO

With the holidays just around the corner, our blogging team is taking a short break to refresh and recharge. However, they have compiled a list of a few blogs you may have missed throughout the year. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and happy reading! buff.ly/41EXuWv

As we wrap up the year, we’re shining a light on your favorite #SoftwareSpotlight of 2024! This incredible tool, developed by our talented Research Software Engineers, has made a big impact! A huge thanks to everyone who used, shared & supported the #Software featured this year!

We want to offer our sincere congratulations to Prof. dr. ir. Wilco Hazeleger, our former director, on his appointment as the new Rector Magnificus of @UniUtrecht. We look forward to seeing how he will inspire and innovate in this new role!

Big news in research software! The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (@dfg_public) just signed the Amsterdam Declaration, backing sustainable and reusable research software. Read the full story here: esciencecenter.nl/news/deutsche-…

Last week, several colleagues from the eScience Center attended the @ODISSEI_nl conference in Utrecht - a conference that brings together over 400 participants to connect, share ideas and explore cutting-edge research in computational social sciences.

Can we use weather models to render a video-game like image of our city? The answer is yes! Check out how in today's blog post by @PeterKalverla. @peter.kalverla/b609a340cde4?source=friends_link&sk=c222c50d99e817c3d8211a6753db49df" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@peter.kalverl…

Earlier this week, we gave a #Workshop for the Economic Department of @WUR on collaborative version control with #Git and #GitLab. We gave a similar workshop on Tuesday at @WUR open to all students and employees. …ciencecenter-digital-skills.github.io/2024-12-10-ds-…

🚀 We've released a new version of DIANNA, our open-source #ExplainableAI (#XAI) tool designed to help researchers get insights into predictions of #DeepNeuralNetworks. What's new: 👉improved dashboard 👉extensive documentation 👉added tutorials MORE: esciencecenter.nl/news/new-relea…

We were at the Annual Symposium of the Dutch Reproducibility Network presenting a poster about the #Fellowship Programme today! It was a great seeing former fellows and talking about the future of reproducibility.

What's that? TWO blogposts this week?! This one's about measuring the openness of research outputs that aren't Open Access journal articles. eScience Fellows Meron & Esther investigated this at their institutes. Curious or want to do the same, read on! blog.esciencecenter.nl/how-much-resea…

Have you heard of #Advent of #Code? We are bringing together the Dutch research community on our leaderboard this year! AoC wizard Ewan Cahen reveals his best tips and tricks for AoC in this post! blog.esciencecenter.nl/tackling-adven…

Another big win for #Computational #Science! Our #GPU Programming Workshop wrapped up successfully! This workshop empowers participants to harness GPU power for faster, smarter computing. Thanks to all the participants and instructors!

There are many good open scientific software platforms. And some that aren't as open as they may seem. Our RSE Lourens talks about his experience in this blog post. @lourensveen/25e5e76cc323?source=friends_link&sk=aee428a16a849a57441c9ebecdd81e91" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@lourensveen/2…
