JADS x Den Bosch
Rooted in history, growing with data
Welcome to the place where data science and Den Bosch come together. At JADS, we take pride in our roots in this beautiful city. Here, in the heart of Den Bosch, we work every day on innovative solutions that make life better. From groundbreaking technologies to collaborations with local businesses—JADS connects the city’s history with its future.
Jheronimus Bosch
JADS proudly carries the name of Den Bosch’s most iconic artist, Jheronimus Bosch. Just as he transformed art with his vision, we’re transforming data science with ours. Our historic building in the heart of the city connects us to Den Bosch’s rich heritage while helping to shape its future as a vibrant student city.
Improving the local living environment
At JADS, we’re all about making Den Bosch an even better place to live. Through projects like the Smart City Monitor and the City Deal Kennis Maken, we use the power of data to tackle real-world challenges in our city. It’s how we combine advanced technology with real impact.

Case 1: Den Bosch Time Machine project
The Den Bosch Time Machine brings the city’s rich history to life using modern technology. Led by the heritage department, students built an interactive street register that combines historic and current data about the streets of Den Bosch. With an easy-to-use dashboard, anyone can explore stories and images from the city’s past. This project makes it simple for residents and researchers alike to connect with Den Bosch’s history in a whole new way.
Case 2: Tracking Visitor Patterns at Het Noordbrabants Museum
During the Van Goghs Intimi exhibition, JADS teamed up with Het Noordbrabants Museum (HNBM) and Heijmans for a unique project to better understand how visitors move through the museum and the city. Using 75 sensors, installed by Heijmans, JADS students collected and analyzed anonymous data to uncover visitor hotspots, optimize routes, and improve the museum shop experience. By also tracking movements in the city center, the project provided valuable insights into how exhibitions impact local businesses, helping HNBM enhance the overall visitor experience both inside and outside the museum.
