Poster proposal and Symposium registration registration is now closed.

Please join us for the University of Delaware Data Science Institute (DSI) NextGen Data Science Symposium, an event organized by the UD DSI Student Association and Fellows to bring together UD researchers and local partners interested in Data Science applications.

The “2023 NextGen Data Science Symposium” uniquely targets the next generation of future data science leaders, offering a platform for talks and panels that explore critical career aspects, such as “Navigating the Data Science Job Market” and “Breaking into Data Science as a Career”. These sessions are designed to empower emerging data science professionals with valuable insights and strategies for success in the field.

In addition, the Symposium will showcase poster presentations featuring a range of relevant computational- and data-intensive (CDI) research projects. These posters align with NextGen Data Science’s overarching goals of fostering collaboration and CDI-intensive research across the Delaware region. Furthermore, the Symposium will address the future challenges that the next generation of data scientist leaders will confront and must overcome to drive innovation and progress within the ever-evolving landscape of data science.

The day-long symposium will be held on December 7th, 2023 in person at UD’s STAR Campus in The Tower at STAR Audion from 9:00 am-4:00 pm. There is no cost to register or participate. Those registering (and/or proposing a poster) via the registration link will have the option to indicate their attendance as registration only or registration and present a poster.
