What\u2019s driving DEMAND?<\/strong>
Digitization is everywhere. Data-driven work is the norm. What\u2019s more, the use of artificial intelligence is a hot topic with the rise of generative AI. Yet there is still a gap between tech giants, start-ups and the professional practice of SMEs. There is an overwhelming amount of data available. How can we use data in a way that\u2019s ethically responsible, efficient and safe? DEMAND aims to create the right tools to answer these unanswered yet crucial questions.


From shared knowledge to a shared toolbox<\/strong>
DEMAND is funded by Taskforce for Applied Research SIA. This Dutch governing body fosters collaboration between various institutes, professorships and business partners. The goal? To improve the quality and widen the impact of the applied research done by universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. Likewise, the goal of DEMAND is to maximize shared knowledge and develop a toolbox of new applicable digital technologies and methodologies. Data chains form the basis of a solid data-driven organization, but how organizations also reap the benefits of this is a challenge. DEMAND aims to contribute to the optimization of data chains in private and public organizations with this toolbox, because having the data foundation in place is crucial for any further application of digital innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus of DEMAND
<\/strong>DEMAND richt zich in eerste instantie op dataketencasussen in de maakindustrie, energiesector en publieke organisaties. Later worden ook andere toepassingsgebieden betrokken. DEMAND levert oplossingen voor ge\u00efntegreerde en gevalideerde data-ketens\/datapijplijnen.\u200b

By data experts, for data users<\/strong>
DEMAND creates a bridge between the latest insights from the fields of AI Engineering, Data Engineering and Data Management and real-world data issues. Our research project involves 3 universities of applied sciences (HAN, Saxion and Fontys) and 16 partners. DEMAND works on a shared toolbox. How? By identifying problems and maximizing shared knowledge. Staying connected helps us to connect the dots. Likewise, we see it as a shared responsibility to deal with data in a way that\u2019s ethically responsible, safe and efficient. 

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve established learning communities that focus on:
