The Data Science Speaker Series at U of T (DSSSatUofT) is the result of a collaboration of Data Science programs at the University of Toronto.
Together, we seek to advance knowledge in the field of data science by featuring world-class speakers from academic, healthcare, industry, finance, technology, sports, and other sectors and industries.
In doing so, we hope to facilitate the exchange of ideas, information, and knowledge among scientists, practitioners, and other professionals, and to enhance educational opportunities for students and trainees.
Seminars are held every third Monday of each month, from October to May, 5:15-6:15 pm EST.
2021-2022 seminars will be held online with speakers and participants interacting remotely, and move to a hybrid model with online and in-person participation, when safe.
We look forward to welcoming you to a memorable 2021-2022 Season!
