The Research Centre Data Intelligence explores the world of data and smart technology. We’re constantly finding new ways to apply data in practical solutions that help Limburg and the EU region move forward. Our focus is on projects with a social impact – from smart tools for everyday life to technology that makes a real difference in professional environments. We design and test data-driven innovations, such as intuitive software and technology, supporting people in their personal and working lives.

The Research Centre for Datavisualization focuses on developing, evaluating, and implementing novel ways to interact with data and information. The improvement of the human ability to manage data, extract information, and gain knowledge from it is of vital importance for a society in digitization. Visualization is an effective way to enhance human capabilities to extract and interpret information and support human decision-making.

An increasing number of people have overweight, are obese or have (a higher risk of developing) chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases and chronic pain. In addition, many people have difficulty achieving and maintaining a healthy active lifestyle. The current shift in healthcare also implies that people take more responsibility for their own health.

Many innovations are dependent on materials. The wide variety of ways in which materials can be applied requires them to have a broad palette of characteristics. Plastics with suitable characteristics for specific applications can be produced with the correct design, synthesis, and processing of molecules. With the depletion of raw fossil fuels and the effects of emissions on the climate, there is increased pressure to produce materials in a more responsible and conscious way.
