Compass is excited to announce the launch of the DataScience@work seminar series. This new seminar series invites speakers from external organisations to talk about their experiences as Data Scientists in industry, government and the third sector. The dual meaning of DataScience@work focuses talks on both the technical side of the speakers’ roles as well as working as part of a wider organisation, and building a career in data science.
Highlighting the importance of the new seminar series, Prof Nick Whiteley (Compass Director) says…
Compass aims to develop scientific and professionally agility in its students. Our goal is to connect technical expertise in data science with experience of thinking, communicating and collaborating across disciplines and across sectors. In our new DataScience@Work seminar series, Compass partners from industry will share insights into the key role of Data Science within their organisations, their objectives and future outlook. This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about career trajectories beyond academia, helping shape their aspirations and personal goals for life beyond the PhD. I’m especially grateful to Adarga, CheckRisk, IBM Research, Improbable, and Shell for leading this first season of DataScience@Work and for their ongoing support for Compass.
Invited speakers to the 2020/21 session include:
