SDU eScience Center Launch Event
Date: September 13, 2017
Time: 10:00-13:00

At the event we will discuss the growing importance of using digital methods for generating ideas and knowledge from data, often referred to as eScience. We will recognize that eScience is as a fundamental toolbox for all researchers and is a prerequisite to ensure the Danish knowledge sector remains competitive and the greatest return can be achieved from scientific investments.
