- AI & Data Science
The Artificial Intelligence and Data Science division is the largest division of the Information and Computing Sciences department.
/en/research/ai-data-science - Algorithms
Algorithms consists of various research groups that each tackle challenges from their unique perspective, related to artificial intelligence and gathering, analysing, and applying knowledge through computer guided systems.
/en/research/algorithms - Applied Data Science
The focus area Applied Data Science builds a community of researchers who are interested in developing the field of data science. By joining forces and working interdisciplinarily, we can accelerate the development of data science techniques.
/en/research/applied-data-science - Artificial Intelligence
This research group focuses on the design and analysis of intelligent, knowledge-based systems that aim at supporting human decision makers to improve the quality of their decisions.
/en/research/human-centered-artificial-intelligence - Biomorphodynamics of living river and coastal landscapes
Our aim is to understand and predict natural and human-induced dynamics of living fluvial and coastal landscapes.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/biomorphodynamics-of-living-river-and-coastal-landscapes The UMC Utrecht Brain Center provides state-of-the-art care for neurological and psychiatric diseases and develops (personalized) treatments by performing research in the full translational range, from fundamental research to values-driven healthcare. We also educate, stimulate, and train the next generation of researchers and caregivers.
The Strategic Program Cancer is UMC Utrecht’s world-leading platform for cancer research and innovation. We focus on improving the outcome of ​(ex-)cancer patients, and those at risk of getting cancer.
The Child Health Program is an integrated framework for child-centered interdisciplinary research, aligning patients, clinicians, researchers and resources in order to fill gaps to improve the lives of children with complex chronic diseases, during childhood and thereafter.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. To address this challenge, the strategic program Circulatory Health creates scientific and societal impact by bringing together cardiovascular researchers, clinicians, and educators.
- Computational geography and earth observation
Earth observation from satellites and other platforms (aircrafts, drones) is crucial for our understanding of System Earth and to monitor processes at the Earth surface.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/computational-geography-and-earth-observation - Department of Physical Geography
Our research is directed to understanding the physical processes, patterns, and forms at the Earth's terrestrial surface.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography - Evolution and morphodynamics of rivers, floodplains and deltas
Our Delta Evolution programme aims to develop a fundamental, data-driven understanding of the development of deltas and resulting subsurface architecture at time scales of millennia to centuries.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/evolution-and-morphodynamics-of-rivers-floodplains-and-deltas - Geolab
The GeoLab is the main laboratory facility of the Faculty of Geosciences. We have a wide range of lab facilities available for measuring bulk rock geochemistry, bulk rock stable isotopes (H, C, N, S), in situ stable and radiogenic isotopes (U,Pb-dating), in situ major and trace elements and crystallography.
/en/organisation/faculty-of-geosciences/research-facilities/geolab The Strategic Program Infection & Immunity is a leading platform in the field of inflammatory and infectious diseases and immune-mediated therapy. We continuously focus on developing and improving the treatment of patients with difficult-to-manage infections, immune diseases or cancer.
- Interaction
In the division Interaction Technology, we explore the interaction between people and (virtual) worlds, multimedia, and information. Moreover, we investigate human-human interaction through technological advancements.
/en/research/interaction The Julius Center is a knowledge center for Health Sciences and Primary Care. Together with our colleagues of UMC Utrecht, we work hard to improve patient care. We conduct multidisciplinary scientific research into new diagnosis and treatment methods.
- Landscape functioning and natural hazards
Our group focuses on studying natural hazards processes: including landslides and soil erosion in mountainous areas in the Alps and the Himalayas, and wind erosion and droughts in semi-arid environments like the Mediterranean region and the Sahara. The results of our studies and the outcome of our models helps society to mitigate the negative impacts of hazards.
/en/research/department-of-physical-geography/research/landscape-functioning-and-natural-hazards - Methodology and Statistics
At the department Methodology & Statistics we develop methodological and statistical techniques for the purpose of (social and behavioural sciences) research.
/en/organisation/methodology-and-statistics/research - Paleoclimate & Biogeology
Palaeoecology studies past environmental dynamics by means of palaeo-reconstructions combined with experiments and observations to understand past and present behavior of biota in relation to humans, climate and natural competition.
/en/research/department-of-earth-sciences/paleoclimate-biogeology Utrecht is home to Regenerative Medicine Utrecht (RMU), a world-renowned collaboration of excellent knowledge institutes and start-ups. At RMU, we are continuously working on and developing cutting edge technologies and principles that can cure patients.
The research groups within the Faculty of Medicine are to be found on the website of UMC Utrecht.
- Software
Software consists of various research groups, each with their unique perspective on software systems. We focus amongst others on how programming languages, methods, and tools can be designed and applied to support the construction of programmes and related artefacts.
/en/research/software - Sustainability
This research theme aims to unravel system Earth for a sustainable future.
/en/research/sustainability - Water Climate and Future Deltas
This research area focuses on dealing with problems related to subsidence and associated loss of ecosystem services.
