Algorithms that work – how higher mathematics generates innovation in LSH

Mathematical algorithmic modelling may seem a rarefied academic pursuit, but scientists at CWI pursuing life sciences and health research are committed to designing models with direct applications to challenges in healthcare. From optimising treatment plans for cancer patients and reducing waiting times for ambulances to improving geriatric care and suicide prevention, their work, says senior researcher Peter Bosman, “is not window dressing. Our algorithms are actually being used. We go from foundation to application.” 

Willem Offerhaus: ‘Pausing our climate efforts is not an option’

No one can do it alone. No organisation can tackle the great challenges of our time as a soloist. And that is precisely why Willem Offerhaus has operated at the intersection of government, business and education for decades. As a Board member, he contributes to the business climate in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and sustainable, responsible digitalisation. Both are important for a smart, green and healthy region, he argues.

Beyond the triple helix

Transitions require not only technological but also social innovations. Research institute DRIFT argues that government, knowledge institutions and businesses must work together with the entire community to get those necessary transitions done. Beyond the triple helix, in other words.
