The eScience Center and NWO-Shell join forces for future energy

Future energy requires innovative solutions. Current energy developments are advanced by scientific research on geoscience, wind and solar energy, multiphase flows, computational chemistry and material sciences. The eScience Center and NWO-Shell’s Computational Sciences for Energy Research programme (CSER) are joining forces to support this research by opening a joint call for PhD project proposals with eScience support. This new joint call addresses research challenges in the computational sciences for future energy and develops sustainable software tools.

    The CSER programme started in 2012 with the aim to strengthen the computational sciences in the Netherlands and to contribute to societal issues such as the Energy Challenge, as described by the Topsector Energy. The programme has not yet addressed the sustainability of the software tools and results of its research projects. The joint call with the eScience Center concentrates on both the scientific challenges and the sustainability of the software tools. The eScience Center is tasked to enhance science by working collaboratively in data and compute intensive research projects. It contributes to projects by providing eScience Research Engineer support to effectively use and develop modern digital tools and methodologies. The eScience Center also provides an online platform, the eScience Technology Platform, to sustain the developed tools and methodologies beyond the life time of the project.
