Given the importance it has gained in recent years, the Federal Institutes of Technology in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethz.ch\/de.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zurich<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epfl.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lausanne<\/a> are jointly launching a Swiss Data Science Center (<a href=\"https:\/\/datascience.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SDSC<\/a>). With offices in Lausanne and Zurich, the new center will host a multi-disciplinary team of approximately 40 scientists and experts. They will focus on fields such as personalized health, environmental issues and manufacturing challenges.<\/p>\n<p>SDSC researchers will also develop an innovative cloud-hosted platform called the \u201cInsights Factory\u201d. It will be a true one-stop-shop for field experts, who will be able to explore and analyze curated, calibrated and anonymized data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new platform is a fundamental step in the development of open science. Scientific knowledge sharing on a broad scale requires solid, trustworthy and regulated infrastructures. With this center, Switzerland is providing itself with the resources that matches its ambitions,\u201d said Martin Vetterli, EPFL President, in a <a href=\"http:\/\/actu.epfl.ch\/news\/switzerland-launches-a-national-center-for-data-sc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Switzerland is creating a center for data and computer science in order to foster innovation and remain globally competitive in the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[]},"categories":[831],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
