Description:

Join us on Monday, June 25th for Data Science Research Day! Beginning at noon, Data Science Fellows, Data Science Scholars, and students supported by Data Science research grants will share insights on areas such as research reproducibility in computational science, data management, data science challenges, and research communication.

The half day symposium will consist of a series of lightning talks, panel discussion, and meet and greet sessions throughout the day. This collaborative event is a great opportunity to network with other data science students across the campus.

This event is open to all Northwestern undergrads, graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, and is being organized by NICO and the Northwestern Data Science Initiative.

Event space is limited. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
