• Master  students  who  spend  a  day  a  week  on  a  specific  ADS  research  project  (9)  (see  project  summaries  here:  https://tinyurl.com/y9jqc7pt);  

• PhD  and  Postdoc  researchers  on  specific  AAA-­‐DS  projects  (16)  (see  Table:  https://tinyurl.com/y8meekd4);  

• Associate  and  full  Professor  level  researchers  (over  100)  from  multiple  research  disciplines.      Mission  Amsterdam  Data  Science  accelerates  data  science  research,  education  and  valorisation  by  connecting,  sharing  and  showcasing  world-­‐class  technology,  expertise  and  talent  from  Amsterdam  on  a  regional,  national  and  international  level.  Our  activities  enable  business,  society  and  science  to  better  gather,  store,  analyse  and  present  data  in  order  to  gain  valuable  insights  and  make  informed  decisions.  

Finance  In  2017,  each  official  ADS  partner:  Faculty  of  Digital  Media  and  Creative  Industries  (AUAS);  CWI;  Informatics  Institute  (UvA);  Amsterdam  Business  School  and  Amsterdam  School  of  Economics,  Faculty  of  Economics  and  Business  (UvA);  Department  of  Computer  Science  (VU);  Department  of  Mathematics,  Faculty  of  Economics  and  Business,  Amsterdam  Center  for  Business  Analytics  (VU),  contributed  10K  in  cash  and  40K  in  kind.  The  10K  cash  contributions  are  utilised  to  support  project  staff  (project  management  and  business  relations),  hosting  of  regular  seminars  and  events,  and  marketing  and  website  maintenance  costs.  This  is  both  for  Amsterdam  Data  Science  and  the  Amsterdam  School  of  Data  Science  (our  education  platform).      Within  ADS,  there  is  also  the  AAA  funding  stream,  this  is  a  joint  data  science  initiative  of  UvA  and  VU,  which  aims  to  intensify  collaboration  between  the  two.  Additionally  it  is  also  a  collaboration  involving  AUAS,  CWI,  and  VUmc,  and  industry,  namely  ORTEC  and  Philips.  The  AAA-­‐DS  projects  are  unique  as  they  span  multiple  research  domains  (business,  humanities,  informatics,  life  sciences  and  social  sciences),  faculties  and  universities.  There  are  12  postdocs  and  4  PhD  students,  each  on  a  specific  data  science  project  within  this  3-­‐year  programme.  Table  1  summarises  each  AAA  project  with  highlights  and  future  project  plans.  In  brief:  

• 3.069K  was  the  original  funding  amount  awarded  by  the  Boards  of  UvA  and  VU.  In  addition  to  this  original  amount  the  following  has  been  secured:  

• 1.255K  for  AAA  projects  with  ABS,  AUAS,  CWI,  Philips,  ORTEC  and  VUmc;  • 4.272K  in  NWO  grants  to  AAA  researchers  for  project  collaborations  with  Ahold  Delhaize,  

Beeld  en  Geluid,  Elsevier,  and  KNAW;  • 8.596K  in  total  cash  injection  to  the  AAA  programme.    

 2017  highlights  (in  detail)    Establishing  new  partners  New  knowledge  institutes  join  ADS:  In  January  2017,  the  Department  of  Mathematics,  Faculty  of  Economics  and  Business,  Amsterdam  Center  for  Business  Analytics  (ACBA)  of  the  VU  joined  ADS.  This  partnership  has  already  led  to  new  projects  being  set-­‐up,  specifically  in  the  domains  of  HR  and  big  day  analytics.  At  the  end  of  2017,  the  Faculty  of  Sports  and  Nutrition  of  the  AUAS  confirmed  their  intent  to  become  an  official  ADS  partner  as  of  January  2018,  and  we  are  also  in  final  talks  with  the  Faculty  of  Social  and  Behavioural  Science  (UvA)  who  are  keen  to  become  an  official  partner  shortly.    New  ADS  labs:  In  2017  alone,  three  new  ADS  Labs  launched  which  will  host  over  30  joint  PhD  and  postdoc  positions  between  the  University  and  the  respective  company:  

• DELTA:  A  collaboration  with  Bosch  on  deep  learning  in  the  automotive  industry  and  computer  vision  amounting  to  10  positions    

• The  Police:  A  collaborative  project  which  will  use  computer  technologies  to  gain  information  from  seized  mobiles  and  computers  3  positions  and  100K  of  yearly  funding
