In addition to their research projects, SUDS Scholars across all opportunities are provided with a full set of data sciences networking, academic, and professional development opportunities. Scholars must attend a minimum of 75% of the weekly sessions and participate in the DSI Showcase, submitting an abstract of their SUDS research.
The session schedule can be found below and are held at the DSI – see here for location.
The DSI partners with the University of Toronto’s School of Cities for some of the professional development sessions.
