ADS grant calls
The focus area Applied Data Science has funding to financially support small research projects within the Special Interest Groups. The aim is to foster the application of data science techniques in research areas where they are not yet applied and to accelerate the development of data science techniques by working in an interdisciplinary way.
Examples
- Interfaculty research projects aimed at the application or development of data science techniques.
- Seed money for the preparation of interdisciplinary (interfaculty) subsidy applications, for a pilot study to prepare a subsidy application.
- Consultation costs when a researcher from one faculty helps a researcher from another faculty with the application/development of data science techniques.
