National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (Dutch: Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica or CWI) is located at the Science Park Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and was founded in 1946 by J. G. van der Corput, D. van Dantzig, J. F. Koksma, H. A. Kramers, M. G. J. Minnaert and J. A. Schouten. It is one of the leading European research centers in the field of mathematics and theoretical computer science. Originally called Mathematical Centre (Dutch: Mathematisch Centrum), its name was changed in 1983 to reflect the strong Computer Science component in its research.
It is a member of European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM).
