The DSI hosts events and workshops every month, it can be hard to keep up. But no matter what you might have missed, we have you covered.
As an incubator for data science research, the DSI plays a leading role in highlighting and fostering collaboration across the data sciences. Our researchers and guest speakers contribute to critical, cross-disciplinary research in data science. DSI events are just one of the ways we are working to foster a data science community at the University of Toronto and beyond.
