About
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 mission is to empower researchers through innovative software by collaboratively designing sustainable software, and building digital skills and expertise.
