Lorentz-eScience Competition 2022
This year the focus is Digital Twins. Applications now open!
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 Digital Twins.
Digital twins are virtual representations of real-world objects or systems. Digital twins typically use several coupled models, sometimes supported by machine learning, and are refined with real-time data. Coupled with interactive analysis and visualization, this technology enables new insights and scientific discoveries. Moreover, it allows researchers and policy makers to run what-if scenarios, supporting decision making.
What we seek
- an innovative scientific case, 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 2023
- contributions from one or more “Digital Twin” experts from the eScience Center, with expertise in the area of model coupling, data assimilation, analytics, visualization, machine learning, and high performance computing
- 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’
- Hybrid format also an option
Procedure
- a 1-page expression of interest by 25 April 2022
- announcement selection of shortlist before 17 May 2022
- a full application by 13 June 2022
- final decision beginning of July 2022
- submit applications to:
- peer review process; final decision by the directors
