Education & Networking Committee
The DDSA Education & Networking Committee evaluates and prioritises applications for DDSA’s Large Course and Event Grants, monitors and develops DDSA’s event and course grant programmes, and provides strategic input on the need for new DDSA-driven activities. The committee members are also engaged in developing these new activities together with the DDSA Secretariat, e.g. taking part in setting up the scientific programme of our annual conference. The committee consists of 12 members representing a diverse group of committed data science researchers and professionals working across sectors in the broad field of data science in Denmark.
