We are The Hague AI & DataLAB

We are teachers, researchers and students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS). We use Artificial Intelligence and Data Science for a just and sustainable society. We help you to put Data Science and AI into practice. THUAS AI & DataLab is your portal to connect with us and learn more about how AI and Data Science can change your daily practice. Find out what we do, what motivates us and how we can help you with your projects or questions.

Let’s collaborate

Our AI & Data Science expertise

We focus our work on the fields of:

  • Safety (ethics, privacy, safety for citizens and cyber security)

  • Industry (manufacturing, horticulture and energy transition)

  • Health (health, healthcare, diagnostics)

Our goal is to help companies and organizations from these fields to make the best use of digital technologies in their daily operations. We encourage responsible use of AI and Data Science: safe and sustainable. With a wide range of educational programs and research groups, we provide in-depth knowledge of data collection and analysis techniques as well as hands-on experience in specific domains.

How to use AI and Data Science

AI or Data Science?

Artificial intelligence is defined by two features: adaptivity and autonomy. Adaptivity is the ability to improve performance by learning from experience. Autonomy is the ability to perform tasks in complex environments without constant guidance by a user. Data science encompasses multiple subdisciplines that include machine learning and statistics and certain aspects of computer science, algorithms, data storage, web application and development. Data science solutions often involve at least a little bit of AI.

How it can help

Through the use of methods, algorithms and technologies you can generate insights from data allowing you to discover important patterns and make predictions. This data and the insights gained from them are used to support decision-making, management, governance and policy in a chaotic world from a human perspective. With the help of data science you can lighten the workload of employees, perform maintenance more timely or develop autonomous robots for dangerous or dull jobs. 

Work on your challenges with us

Whether you need help collecting data, analysing data, developing apps or finding the right way to use your data, we can help. At The Hague University of Applied Sciences AI & Datalab, our expertise ranges from robotics to data science to ethics for business and legal tech. We can work with you on short-term projects and assignments or on more in-depth and innovative research projects. The THUAS AI & Datalab is here to match you with the right researcher, teacher or student. Whether you're looking for an intern or need help discovering and developing solutions to complex problems in your day-to-day work. Let's get in touch!

Research & Education

At a university of applies sciences, students, teachers and researchers work together. We do practice oriented research. That means we focus on questions coming directly from organisations and companies. In most cases these organisations are actively involved in the research projects. The core of our research groups are what we call teacher-researchers. They combine teaching with doing research and involve students in projects with external partners.

We have over 65 bachelor's degree programmes. In many of them AI and Data Science are becoming hot topics. Students learn for a large part by working on real life challenges. As a result, our programmes offer students and organisations opportunities to connect in a variety of ways.
