The scientific community and the Dutch Research Council (NWO) are jointly establishing thematic Digital Competence Centres. Researchers and institutions, across the Netherlands, will work together in these network organisations to increase digital competencies.
There are three thematic Digital Competence Centres (TDCCs), corresponding to the three domains of science: Natural and Engineering Sciences (TDCC NES), Life Sciences and Health (LSH) and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). All TDCCs are network organisations and bring together researchers, local institutional digital competence centres, infrastructure providers, knowledge and expertise networks, as well as other strategic initiatives active within domains. TDDC NES will address the data, software, meta-data, and computing challenges to enable researchers across the natural and engineering sciences make the most of resources in our digital age, with collaboration crossing both institutional and national borders.
Two coordinators are being appointed to lead the TDCC NES activities: the Network Manager and the Community Coordinator, who will jointly form the coordination team. As the Network Manager for the TDCC NES your role will be to establish and lead the consortium.
Your main tasks will be:

Your formal appointment will be with TU Delft, the legal entity of 4TU.ResearchData, which hosts the TDCC NES. TU Delft is the largest technical university in the Netherlands. 4TU.ResearchData is a repository for data and software from science, engineering and design domains. TU Delft, 4TU.ResearchData, as well as other organisations within the natural and engineering sciences in the Netherlands will jointly form the TDCC NES Consortium. Other partners in the consortium will include NIKHEF, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics; Leiden University, the oldest university in the Netherlands; CWI, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science; KNMI, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, and many others.

Challenge. Change. Impact!
TU Delft Library is the largest technical-scientific library in the Netherlands, a physical and virtual meeting place. The Library helps to find valuable knowledge needed for education and research, and to publish and store the knowledge generated at TU Delft. We believe it is important that knowledge is easily accessible and freely available to everyone. In this way, knowledge can flow freely and TU Delft's knowledge can become valuable to others. The Library is also a place where everyone can study in peace and quiet. This fits in with our inclusive organisation. The Library has chosen three strategic themes to guide its daily activities. 1) Open Science. We make an important contribution to TU Delft's broad strategic programme "Open Science - Research and Education in the Open Era". 2) Visibility and impact. With our expertise and tools in the field of research data management, research intelligence and publishing, we increase the findability, visibility and impact of TU Delft knowledge. 3) Inspiring learning and working environment. Through stimulating programming, we show how freely available and reliable knowledge makes life richer. This makes the Library a place where you can find new ideas and insights.
