Chief Science Office

Openresearch editorial board Author

The city as a complex system requires more research and connection between the different forms of knowledge (scientific, practice-oriented, design and experience). The Chief Science Officer is the central point of contact for the municipality and the knowledge institutions when it comes to knowledge and research. The CSO's important task is to give a more structured way shape to the cooperation (on metropolitan themes) between the municipality, the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, the Amsterdam Economic Board and the Amsterdam knowledge institutions and to (further) develop a sustainable knowledge infrastructure in the city. The CSO stimulates, initiates and connects different research contexts. The CSO is also the editor-in-chief of openresearch.amsterdam.
