Jheronimus Academy of Data Science

The Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS) is a unique concept in the Netherlands. Data Science is becoming increasingly essential to finding answers to the challenges of our era. At three different locations (TU Eindhoven, Tilburg University and Mariënburg Campius) Data Science can be studied, researched and applied through bachelor and graduate programs, PDEng education, Data Science Centers and incorporated into existing ecosystems. This unique cooperation between the Province of North Brabant, the Municipality of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology creates a new knowledge infrastructure which puts Brabant at the heart of the future. ​
