Research engineers
How can I train an algorithm to recognize animal sounds? What do I do if my calculations are too large or complicated to run on my own laptop? Researchers of all domains increasingly require the use of digital technologies in their work. Our research engineers cater to this need by collaborating with researchers in projects and consulting them on research IT matters.
Our goal is to increase research impact through advanced digital technologies.

Knowledge hub
We act as a knowledge hub where expertise gained in temporary projects are safeguarded and used for cross-pollination across domains. At the same time, we provide a collaborative community for researchers and IT staff at Utrecht University.
