Women In Data Science
About the event
After last year’s successful event, we’re excited to bring back our Women in Data Science event this year! We invite 4 exciting companies to each provide an interesting talk given by a female speaker, tackling topics about the changes and opportunities in the female world of Data Science. After the talks, there will be roundtable discussions for students and partners to delve deeper into related topics while enjoying drinks and a bite to eat. We aim to keep the number of participants rather small, this gives everyone a chance to talk to the speakers and really connect with other students that are also interested in data science. 50 Students are invited for this exclusive event to inspire each other for the future female data science scene! ✨
