Thank you for celebrating the end of the year with us!
Last Thursday brought us together at the Erasmus Data Collaboratory | House of AI for our ECDA Community Christmas Meet-up — an evening of knowledge-sharing and holiday spirit!
💡 We also reflected together on a year marked by several important milestones:
- Executive Expert Seession for our Executive Leiderschapsprogramma | Innovatie & Transformatie met Data en AI (starting on 12 March): bringing together industry leaders and experts to share insights and prepare the next generation of data-driven executives.
- Erasmus Data Summit: this year’s edition dived deep into digital twins and hyper-personalization, showcasing innovative projects and sparking discussion on future tech applications.
- Launch of the Sociaal AI Lab Rotterdam: creating a space for socially responsible AI research, literacy, dialogue, participation, and inclusion as one AI community in Rotterdam, in collaboration with Gemeente Rotterdam, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, Techniek College Rotterdam, and Erasmus University Rotterdam.
- Launch of 5-year collaboration with the Police: strengthening partnerships and exploring how to responsibly apply immersive tech in real-world public safety challenges.
- Immersive Xperience Lab: welcoming numerous guests from diverse organizations to explore hands-on applications of immersive technologies, the value of immersive experiences across different domains, and how they can be used to create real value.
As we close the year, we warmly thank everyone who joined us, shared their ideas, and celebrated with our data, AI, and immersive tech-driven community.
🤝 We’re also grateful to all our partners and collaborators for their support throughout the year. Let’s carry this energy into 2026, continuing to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and make a positive societal impact together.
