Launched in 2021, the Data Science Centre (DSC), part of the University Library, is a coordinating hub and facilitator for data-driven research within the University of Amsterdam. Our mission is to enhance the university’s research by developing, sharing, and promoting data science methods and technologies across faculties.  

• Since 2021, the DSC community has grown from 25 to 58 engaged members in 2022.
• 15 scientific articles have been published.
• The very first Away Day was organised for the community and developments in data science were showcased at the UvA during the annual Data Science Day.
• Throughout the year, the Library offered workshops on digital skills.
• Within the Accelerate Programme, 12 research proposals were awarded to 6 faculties to fund a data scientist or engineer.
• A joint fellowship programme has been set up in collaboration with the International Institute for Advanced Study (IAS).
