The Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (abbr. CWI; English: "National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science") is a research centre in the field of mathematics and theoretical computer science. It is part of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and is located at the Amsterdam Science Park. This institute is famous as the creation site of the programming language Python. It was a founding member of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM).

Nikhef is the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics that performs research in particle physics and astroparticle physics. Amongst others, it is a research partner of the CERN institute in Switzerland, and is a collaboration between Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), University of Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Radboud University, University of Groningen, Maastricht University and Utrecht University. The current director is Stan Bentvelsen. Nikhef is located at the Amsterdam Science Park in Watergraafsmeer in the Netherlands.NIKHEF is an acronym for Nationaal Instituut voor Kernfysica en Hoge-Energiefysica (National Institute for Nuclear and High energy physics). This acronym is no longer used and the name was changed to Nationaal instituut voor subatomaire fysica (National Institute for Subatomic Physics). The name Nikhef is preserved to maintain name recognition (now with only the N capitalised).It also was the host of the third website in the world, starting in February 1992. Nikhef is also one of the eight colocations of the Amsterdam Internet Exchange.Stan Bentvelsen is the director of Nikhef since December 1, 2014.

Amsterdam University College (AUC) is a public liberal arts college in the Netherlands with an enrolment of about 900 students from more than 60 countries. All teaching is in English.The college was founded in 2009 as a joint initiative of the University of Amsterdam and the VU Amsterdam with a particular focus on the natural sciences. Although AUC has its own campus, students can also use facilities of both parent universities. The college is part of a recent wave of university colleges in the Netherlands which have introduced liberal arts education to the country.AUC offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in the social sciences and humanities and a Bachelor of Science degree in science, which are pursued by about 50%, 15%, and 33% of the student body, respectively. The curriculum is strongly interdisciplinary; within each field, students have to pursue at least two disciplines. AUC further emphasizes its 'academic core', which makes up a large part of the curriculum.

Amsterdam Science Park is a science park in the Oost city district of Amsterdam, Netherlands with foci on physics, mathematics, information technology and the life sciences. The 70 hectare (175 acre) park provides accommodations for science, business and housing. Resident groups include institutes of the natural science faculties of the University of Amsterdam, several research institutes, and related companies. Three of the colocations of the Amsterdam Internet Exchange are at the institutes SURFsara, NIKHEF, and Equinix-AM3 at the science park. In 2009, the Amsterdam Science Park railway station was by opened then-mayor Job Cohen.

Research institute AMOLF is part of the institutes organization of Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). AMOLF carries out fundamental research on the physics and design principles of natural and man-made complex matter. AMOLF uses these insights to create novel functional materials and find new solutions to societal challenges in renewable energy, green ICT and healthcare. AMOLF is located at the Amsterdam Science Park.AMOLF used to be part of the Dutch Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM). On 31 December 2016 FOM integrated in NWO.

Amsterdam Science Park is a railway station in the borough Amsterdam-Oost in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The station lies on the Amsterdam–Zutphen railway between the railway stations Amsterdam Muiderpoort and Diemen. The station serves the Science Park Amsterdam and the Watergraafsmeer, as well as Amsterdam University College and the Science Park campus of the University of Amsterdam.

Indische Buurt ("Indies Neighborhood") is a neighborhood in the borough of Oost, the eastern part of the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The name of the neighborhood dates from the early 20th century, and is derived from the fact that the neighborhood's streets are named after islands and other geographical concepts in the former Dutch colony of the Dutch East Indies or now known as Indonesia. The first street was named in 1902. In 2003, the neighborhood had around 23,000 inhabitants. The neighborhood is bounded on the west by the railroad Amsterdam - Hilversum (with the Muiderpoort Station), on the east side by Flevopark, on the north side by Zeeburgerdijk and on the south side by the Ringvaart Watergraafsmeer. Indische Buurt is the oldest part of the former Zeeburg district and is very ethnically diverse. A high percentage of the population is of immigrant origin (for Zeeburg this is already high at 55%, but higher in the Indische Buurt) and there are an estimated 100 languages spoken.

Python Bridge, officially known as High Bridge (Hoge Brug), is a bridge that spans the canal between Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam. It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002. The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8. The bridge only carries pedestrians. The visually similar Lage Brug (Low bridge) is nearby. It is similar but without the high elevation, which allows cyclists to ride over it.

Jaap Edenhal (sometimes anglicized as Jaap Eden Hall) is a 4,500-capacity indoor ice rink located adjacent to Jaap Eden baan in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is named after Dutch speed skater Jaap Eden. The Amsterdam Tigers are its primary tenant. The facility opened in 1973 and has also been used as a concert venue. The Jaap Edenhal was created by rebuilding the hockey rink next to the track. In addition to being the home rink of the Amsterdam Tigers of the BeNe League, and formerly the home of the Amsterdam G's in the now defunct Eredivise, the Jaap Edenhal was used for the national ice-skating championships in 1974. It has also hosted fleamarkets, exhibitions, a Saturday night disco skate popular with teenagers, the Amsterdam Skate Festival (including roller-disco) and in particular concerts. Artists that have performed at the venue include ABBA, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Rod Stewart, Siouxsie and the Banshees, John Denver, Iron Maiden, Olivia Newton-John, Dio, Run-DMC (their first appearance in the Netherlands), and The Police.

Industrial Monument is a work of art located in Amsterdam-Oost. It consists of a former railway platform with an overseer's house and a wagon. The monument is a creation by (Atelier) Joep van Lieshout and is installed in the public space on Cruquiusweg in the Eastern Docklands. The monument came about thanks to the East Docklands Art Working Group, which asked the artist to create an artwork from a dilapidated freight wagon as a tribute to the industrial past of the area (which was once crisscrossed with train tracks and included a cleaning station), particularly the abattoir. Van Lieshout then noticed the similarly dilapidated overseer's house on an old platform between the tracks. Although it was slated for demolition, Van Lieshout decided to restore the house to its original state and declare it a monument, as a protest against the renewal frenzy of humanity, the Dutch, and the Amsterdammers in particular. (Het Parool, 09-08-2017). Upon completion, it turned out that Van Lieshout had focused all his energy on the overseer's house, leaving the freight wagon unchanged. Not everyone realized that the two objects (the train set and the house) were meant to form a single entity. This became evident when fellow artist Ronald van der Meijs was asked in 2008 to refurbish the wagon. He added a container made of jute bags, symbolizing the transition from traditional freight transport to the shipping container, one of the reasons why this port area, which was not suitable for container transport, fell into disuse. In 2008, the overseer's house was repurposed as an exhibition space and was named Museum Perron Oost in 2013, the smallest museum in the world. The objects are part of a historical route through Amsterdam-Oost (art, architecture, objects). Het Parool reported on August 9, 2017, in a section by Sophia Zürcher, that this Industrial Monument hardly fits within Joep van Lieshout's broader oeuvre, standing out significantly from his other works.
