The University of Groningen (UG) is an international university with a rich academic tradition covering all disciplines of science and technology. The UG is well-established within the Northern Netherlands region and has grown into an open academic community. Through our teaching and research, we foster the development of talent and work towards a better, more sustainable society, with a special focus on the research areas of Energy and Climate, Public Health, Sustainable Development, and Digitization and AI.
Since the establishment in 1614, the university has brought forward striving academics and connects education and research with sustainable and economic processes within society. The UG has 11 faculties (1 in the Frisian capital of Leeuwarden). The university offers 120 Master’s degree programmes and 45 Bachelor’s degree programmes (mostly English-taught) to more than 33000 students.
The Information Systems Group is within the Computer Science Department of the Bernoulli Institute – the biggest institute in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. The group focuses on research, development and application of software-intensive information systems that are the backbone of modern enterprises and our digital society. Specifically, we investigate flexible information systems for process automation, data processing pipelines and information systems empowering AI so that AI applications can be brought from the prototype stage into a production enterprise environment in different domains where scalability, reliability, adaptation and security are essential requirements. Information systems deal with sensitive data and serve a huge number of users. We work on the interface between information systems and cyber-security with emphasis on security and privacy assurance and their integration into flexible, cloud-based information systems, secure business process management, mobile security, privacy-enhancing techniques, LLMs and security, blockchain applications, trusted provenance of adaptive information systems and others. Our education activities include ethical hacking, network security analytics, and information security.
