by ddsa.dk
DDSA aims to support a national collaborative network of data science experts across universities, public institutions, and industries, and to inspire and train the next generation of data scientists through educational, interdisciplinary, and collaborative activities. A great idea for a data science event or course can pave the way for a small or large DDSA Course and Event Grant.
