Simulation of the world around us by numerical computation has improved a lot in the past decades. Together with Johan Dijkzeul we will look back at this period.

The forty-second Woudschoten Conference was held at the Woudschoten Conference Centre, Zeist, The Netherlands from 4-6 October 2017.

Models and sensor data are an indispensible combination. Sensor data is needed to validate models and the models are often necessary to understand and extrapolate the data. VORtech has been working a two very exciting projects in the past few months in which sensor data and models are combined in an innovative application.

The Summer school "Data Assimilation and its Applications in Oceanography, Hydrology, Risk & Safety and Reservoir Engineering" in Sibiu, Romania.

The propagation of waves through a medium is described by the famous wave equation. This is a partial differential equation that is not easy to solve. The time-independent form of the wave equation is called the Helmholtz equation.

On March 14, 2017, the second edition of the Internet of Things event took place in Rotterdam. VORtech was one of the partners of this event.

On Thursday February 23, 2017, VORtech hosted our first Meetup on Data Science: "Data Science in Industry"

This year the Study Group Mathematics with Industry took place in Amsterdam, from January 23 till 27. Bas van ‘t Hof and Jok Tang, two of VORtech’s mathematical consultants, attended the SWI this year.

When I first heard the term Digital Twin, I was immediately fascinated. It opens up an entire new realm of simulation.

On the 4th National eScience Symposium 2016 there will be a standing table where OpenDA will be presented by the Netherlands eScience Center and VORtech.
