WiDS Amsterdam: Medical Data Science

Amsterdam Data Science is hosting its very first WiDS Amsterdam event in collaboration with Amsterdam Medical Data Science. The theme of the event is Medical Data Science and we have some exciting experts within the field to talk about their research.

The Women in Data Science (WiDS) initiative aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and to support women in the field. WiDS started as a one-day technical conference at Stanford in November 2015.

In 2020 the WiDS Worldwide conference reached over 100,000 people across the globe, online and in person, with 20,000+ attendees at WiDS Stanford and 150+ WiDS regional events in 50+ countries.
