Thematic Digital Competence Centres

The Thematic Digital Competence Centres (TDCCs) are network-based initiatives set up by NWO and the Dutch academic community to broker investments into research data management projects. The three TDCCs are national and discipline based, with one pillar each for the Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH), Natural and Engineering Sciences (NES) and Life Sciences & Health (LSH). The networks will help formulate and facilitate projects designed to promote the adoption of open data, software and research practices, alongside the development of the necessary expertise.
