Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) is the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands.

To give focus to our efforts, we concentrate on five broad, societally-relevant themes:

We conduct pioneering research in mathematics and computer science, and transfer the results of this to industrial and societial partners.

Results of mathematics and computer science research are the invisible driving forces behind our economic growth and welfare. CWI contributes by sharing its fundamental knowledge with public and private partners, starting spin-off companies and developing innovative software tools and standards.

The institute also plays a central role in several (inter)national programs and organizations.
