Exciting News from The Hague University of Applied Sciences! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 3DxVERSE project! This initiative brings together global partners to explore new frontiers in digital twins for sustainable travel and living communities. The project aims to monetize mobility data, opening doors for innovative technologies and creating opportunities for new entrants in the mobility sector. Together with a diverse consortium of industry leaders and research institutions, we’re set to revolutionize how we think about connected travel, smart data usage, and sustainable living. This project, supported by the Digital Europe Programme - European Commission, is a major step forward in creating greener, more efficient urban environments. We’re especially excited to have our dedicated team members Lampros Stergioulas, Hani Alers, Mathis Mourey, and Noëlle Choong leading the charge in this groundbreaking initiative. Their expertise and passion will be key to making this vision a reality! Looking forward to collaborating with our partners and stakeholders to make the future of mobility a reality! #Sustainability #DigitalTwins #SmartMobility #Innovation #TheHagueUniversity #3DxVERSE #DigitalEurope #Collaboration Let’s shape the future together!

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Maged Ali, Professor at the University of Essex and a leading expert in Big Data Technologies and Methodologies, will be joining our Data Science & AI Research Group at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) as a Visiting Professor for the next year! Dr. Ali brings a wealth of expertise in leveraging Big Data for decision-making across diverse sectors like finance, marketing, environmental studies, social sciences, and law. His groundbreaking research focuses on using Big Data to tackle poverty alleviation and advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in regions facing complex challenges such as Sudan. During this collaboration, Dr. Ali will be instrumental in forging new connections between our research group and various industries and organizations, fostering partnerships that drive impactful projects. His work, including innovations like using GPS and GIS technologies to track migration patterns and provide real-time insights for decision-makers, will play a key role in expanding our research and societal contributions. We look forward to the exciting opportunities this partnership will bring, and we are eager to explore new ways to use Big Data and AI for societal good! Welcome, Dr. Ali! His Visiting appointment at THUAS will also reinforce our existing UNESCO collaboration with the University of Essex, supporting and furthering our UNESCO Chair agenda, particularly in establishing new lines of research in the use of Big Data and AI in Healthcare. #DataScience #AI #BigData #Research #Collaboration #SDGs #PovertyAlleviation #Innovation #THUAS #UniversityOfEssex"

🚀 Exciting Progress in the DATALESs Project! 🌍 We had the pleasure of hosting colleagues from Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University at Delft University of Technology and De Haagse Hogeschool / The Hague University of Applied Sciences for our third consortium meeting. Highlights included insightful discussions on Local Energy Systems (LES), a tour of The Green Village, and showcasing the Data Innovation Hub. Together, we're driving innovations in renewable energy, data science, and sustainability. 🌱💡 Looking forward to more collaborations that will shape the future of energy systems! 🔗 #Sustainability #DataScience #EnergyInnovation #Collaboration https://lnkd.in/drtaZXCi

The future of human-centered technologies in the spotlight at the Asia-Europe Foundation This week Lampros Stergioulas, our Professor of #DataScience & #AI at #THUAS and UNESCO Chair in AI and Data Science for Society, in Netherlands, gave an insightful Keynote talk on Ethical Society 5.0 as part of the ASEFYLS Capacity Buildings 2024 of ASEFEdu, highlighting the potential benefits as well as the ethical and security risks of new transformative technologies. Professor Stergioulas concluded his talk with a call to action and an invitation for participants to join in the collective effort to shape the ethical landscape of future technologies together.

Save the date: Workshop on Open Science and AI! 🔬 🤖 Scientific research is evolving because of new artificial intelligence applications. For example, AI makes it possible to quickly analyze large datasets. But what if we want to make science more open? Can AI help us achieve this? On the afternoon of Monday 23 September, the Nederlandse Unesco Commissie and the Unesco Chair in Diversity and Inclusion in Global Science at CWTS | Leiden University will host a workshop on artificial intelligence and Open Science. The focus of the afternoon will be on the engagement of societal actors. How can AI applications help engage a broader audience in research? Can artificial intelligence play a role in launching citizen science projects or in enhancing scientific volunteering? Researchers and other stakeholders are invited to actively engage with these questions during the workshop, and to share ideas on how AI can positively contribute to making scientific research more inclusive.
