Fundamental research in computer science and mathematics can make major contributions to important scientific and societal challenges. For example, think of recent developments in the context of AI and health care, the energy transition or fairness of algorithms. CWI Research semester programmes focus on challenging topics to which the national research community can make an important research contribution with both scientific and societal impact.

Goals

These programmes:

  • aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas, the development of joint knowledge and the building of lasting relationships between (inter)national researchers;
  • seek to create time and space for collaboration;
  • are comprised of multiple activities over a semester-length, such as workshops, schools and seminars, for junior and senior researchers; and
  • can involve a sabbatical stay at CWI
