eScience Center - Lorentz Competition

Each year, the Netherlands eScience Center and the Lorentz Center invite researchers to join the eScience Center – Lorentz competition. The workshop should bring together researchers and experts from the academic community and the public/ private sector.

The winner will organize a workshop at the Lorentz Center@Snellius in Leiden, the Netherlands.

 

This year the focus is on:
Computational Mathematics for Real-World Applications

 

New numerical methods and algorithms have the potential to substantially impact technological applications in scientific research. We invite initiatives that will integrate mathematical breakthroughs in research software, in order to solve fundamental problems in any research field.

 

What we seek

  • an innovative research problem that takes us beyond current boundaries
  • an open and interactive format, with few lectures
  • at least one scientific organizer based within and one outside the Netherlands
  • at least one scientific organizer from academia and one from the public/private sector

 

What we offer

  • a 5-day workshop for up to 25 people in the second half of 2024
  • 460 h support from the Netherlands eScience Center research software engineers (RSEs) with high-level digital expertise
  • travel and accommodation reimbursements
  • no registration fees or other organizational costs
  • professional organizational support, under the philosophy ‘you do the research, we do the rest’

 

 Procedure

  • a 1-page expression of interest to proposal@lorentzcenter.nl by 3 May 2023
  • announcement selection of shortlist before 22 May 2023
  • a full application via the Lorentz Center application portal by 21 June 2023
  • final decision mid-July 2023
  • peer review process: review and feedback by the competition review board; final decision by the Lorentz Center and Netherlands eScience Center directors
