In total the department consists of 7 information specialists, an open access specialist, a data librarian and 7 data stewards, and a DCC project manager. All of the information specialists and data stewards hold office within their faculty and work closely with the research support staff within the faculty.

The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). As part of a people-first tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, the faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. The research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
