To increase the speed, depth, and rigor of scientific return
by revealing new connections through data science.
Recent interdisciplinary collaborations between physical scientists and data scientists have yielded significant advancements in both fields. In order to establish a strong community of science and data science collaborators, we invite researchers, practitioners, leaders, and students to join us for our inaugural SUDS Conference.
This three-day conference will feature…
- Keynotes and panels from experts in SUDS-like collaborations
- Townhalls for findings from our Workshop by institutional leaders
- Technical posters and talks by researchers and students in this fast-growing community
