Who are we?

The Netherlands eScience Center is the national centre for innovative software solutions in academic research. We aim to bridge the gap in knowledge and expertise between digital technologies on the one hand and scientific and scholarly inquiry on the other. We create the tools and digital methodologies that enable researchers across all disciplines to answer research questions, harnessing our unique blend of academic expertise and software development skills.

We attach great importance to software quality and sustainability, and academic recognition of research software. This led us to develop the Research Software Directory, an open source online platform that highlights the impact of research software by aggregating information about the software itself, related research outputs, societal impact, and the people and organisations involved. The RSD has been adopted by a large number of research organisations nationally and internationally, and currently contains information on hundreds of research software items, thousands of developers, and hundreds of thousands related research outputs.

The eScience Center stands for a research-focused, professional, collaborative, open and resourceful approach to everything...
