Advisory
Panel
The DDSA Advisory Panel provides strategic recommendations to the DDSA Board of Directors for the crucial task of securing renewed funding for Danish Data Science Academy, as the current funding runs until the end of 2026. The Advisory Panel consists of 12 national and international members representing a diversity of expertise and experience in research and application of data science, as well as knowledge and ideas about how to grow data science in Denmark. The national members represent sectors other than academia, while the international members represent either academia, public or private sector.
The Chair of the Advisory Panel is appointed by the DDSA Board of Directors and has a seat on the Board. The DDSA Advisory Panel is a merger of the former DDSA National Advisory Panel and the DDSA International Advisory Panel.
