Do you need code to be fast and portable? Consider using Julia to write code that can run fast, anywhere. In this blog, Bart Schilperoort explains how to write Julia code than can run on any GPU, and why you would want to do that.

In a pilot workshop this week we taught our new lesson materials about Natural Language Processing for the first time. We thank all the participants for the positive and constructieve feedback we received.

We will be offering the workshop in 2026. We'll keep you posted!

NRSD 2025 was a great success, thanks to the professional organisation by TU Delft and NL-RSE and the funding provided by TU Delft, LCRDM and Open Science NL. There was substantial input from the eScience Center, and we took home many insights and much inspiration! Read our account: buff.ly/bNB26sh

National Research Software Day was a succes in itself, but an especially memorable day for Fenne Riemslagh: she won 2000 euros of TDCC-NES funding for starting-up a soft skill training in 2026. We will share more about the details of her plan next year!

At the eScience Center we pride ourselves on sharing stories about our work and our projects. We sometimes need a little push to get started, especially when you have a lot of ideas in you head. RSE @pabrod.bsky.social has just the scheme to remove that writers block.
