Scientific information solutions provider Elsevier has announced that network organisation Amsterdam Data Science (ADS) has signed an agreement aimed at advancing data science research and education in Amsterdam. Both parties are embarking on a number of joint projects that will enable data scientists to access and share data and use the latest technology to collaborate and advance the field of data science together.
ADS and Elsevier will collaborate together on several fronts, including research and development, joint promotion of Amsterdam as a data science center, and data science talent development. This partnership marks the first long-term collaboration agreement signed by ADS, an initiative of the University of Amsterdam, VU University, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica.
A number of projects have already started. These are focused on improving data search and reproducibility of research that will ultimately result in higher quality research outcomes. These projects involve developing better methods and infrastructure to share data for scientific experiments, ensuring better reuse of data in a safe and trusted manner; developing new search and discovery technologies for searching data underlying scientific experiments; and applying knowledge graph technology to, for instance, help researchers find funding for their research or identify new relations that were previously not detectable.
Both parties have committed to developing new projects together in the years to come, among other things providing corporate work experience programs for grad students and post-docs at Elsevier, and specialized Elsevier staff engaging in teaching the next generation data scientists.
