One of the disciplinary roadmaps in DDS research concerns ‘Engineering for Data Science’. This roadmap leverages the strengths and talents in the combined aspects of (computer science-related) engineering for data science, around software, data and hardware, and is making a long-term, high-risk, high-gain investment with the goal of obtaining a unique, world-leading position in engineering for data science. Towards this objective, a team of top-level post-docs will be established to approach four key subjects.
