Women in Data Science Week 2024

Hi there!

We love that you're signing up for the BDSi x WiDS Data Science Week 2024. The Data Science Week is a guided tour through a Data Science Challenge. The challenge theme will be Equity in Healthcare. WiDS will provide BDSi a real-world oncology dataset, while BDSi will provide tailored workshops and practicals to support participants of all levels of experience. The workshops focus on the skills you'll need to excel in the datathon, and form the basis of a modern data science workflow. Each Workshop consists of a one hour lecture and two hours hands-on practical application. 

The spring 2024 women in data science week is independently organized by BDSi and our partners to be part of Women in Data Science Worldwide’s (WiDS) mission to increase participation of women in data science and to feature outstanding women doing outstanding work. The datathon will use a curated dataset provided by WiDS, and women in data science will be in focus during the entire week.

Before we start, we also need to discuss data and privacy.
