In addition to your research projects, SUDS Scholars across all research 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 speaker seminars, networking, and professional development opportunities and also participate in the DSI Research Day, submitting an abstract of their SUDS research.
The listing of sessions can be found below. We are aiming to offer activities in a hybrid form. Thus, students have the option to participate in person or virtually. Any in-person events will be held at the DSI – see here for location.
For this year’s programming, the DSI is partnering some programming with the University of Toronto’s School of Cities and the Temerty Centre for AI Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM).
