The focus area Applied Data Science (ADS) at Utrecht University (UU) again provides funding to finance research projects within the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) of Applied Data Science.

The aim is to foster the application of data science techniques in research areas where they are not yet applied and to accelerate the development of data science techniques by working in an interdisciplinary way. The present call (deadline 22 November 2024) is intended to financially support interfaculty initiatives (UU and UMC Utrecht) that fit within the objectives of the focus area, such as:

  • Interfaculty research projects aimed at applying or developing data science techniques.
  • Seed money for the preparation of interdisciplinary (interfaculty) grant applications, for a pilot research in preparation of a grant application.
  • Consultation costs when a researcher from one faculty helps a researcher from another faculty to apply/develop data science techniques.

Research IT can offer additional services under certain conditions.

More information and the application form for this call can be found on the ADS website.
