Young Academy Panel
The DDSA Young Academy Panel collaborates with the DDSA secretariat in organising recurrent DDSA events, such as the annual conference, the annual Pre-Graduate Retreat, the Mentoring Programme, the ‘Ask Me Anything’ webinar series, and other events. The Panel also provides feedback on new initiatives, events, and activities to the DDSA Education & Networking Committee, and on the DDSA’s strategy and activities to the DDSA Board of Directors. The Young Academy Panel consists of 15 members across sectors who are all young data scientists in the beginning of their career with data science as a central component of their current position or education.

About the DDSA Young Academy Panel
YAP meets twice a year for a physical half- or full-day meeting, and for a two-hour virtual meeting in the remaining months excluding July and December.
The members are in the early stages of their career. For academia, this means bachelor’s and master’s students, PhD, Postdoc, and assistant professor level at the time of the application deadline.
A Panel member can still apply for DDSA grants.
The Young Academy Panel works in accordance with DDSA Conflicts of Interest.
