BiG Grid Opening at High Tech Campus Eindhoven

" e S c i e n c e i n I n d u s t r y "

Monday the 1st of December, Philips Research (eScience Support) is organizing a symposium themed 'eScience in Industry'. In multiple scientific fields people are struggling with handling large datasets, secure connections, large simulation times, distributed datasets etc. This asks for a new way of working and the term eScience is used to describe the kind of science that need this new way of working. The talks will show how pharma and biomolecular science have become eScience. Further, 2 speakers from eScience centres located in the United Kingdom will share their ideas on eScience.
