What is the Women in Data Science Week?

The goal of the data science week is to introduce interested students and staff to data science in a fun and cooperative way, and help create a community of data scientists at the University of Twente, the faculty of Behavioural and Management Sciences, and beyond. BDSi organizes various events during the week, including a datathon, lectures, workshops, and a networking drink.

The spring 2024 women in data science week is independently organized by BDSi and our partners to be part of Women in Data Science Worldwide’s (WiDS) mission to increase participation of women in data science and to feature outstanding women doing outstanding work. The datathon will use a curated dataset provided by WiDS, and women in data science will be in focus during the entire week.

Of course, the event isn’t limited to only women. People of all shapes and sizes are welcome to join - though we encourage you to bring your female friends and colleagues along!
