Summary
To align with the present needs of science and society, CWI will focus in the coming years on four areas of fundamental research:
- Algorithms: The digitalization of society and the omnipresence of computers bring new challenges and opportunities for algorithms.
- Data and Intelligent Systems: The growth of data and increasingly complex processes require advances in data management and intelligent autonomous systems.
- Cryptography and Security: The more society digitalizes, the more important it becomes to guarantee the security and privacy of all digital information and its processing.
- Quantum Computing: The development of quantum computer hardware simultaneously requires the development of quantum computing algorithms and software.
