DS4S in a nutshell
The program features two keynote speakers, Mihaela van der Schaar, Professor of Machine Learning, AI and Medicine at the University of Cambridge, and Gustau Camps, Professor in Electrical Engineering at the University of Valencia. A dozen of speakers from various research institutions across Switzerland will give invited talks. A session will focus on Open Research Data and the conference will conclude with a discussion with prominent panelists.
Also, please consider participating in our poster sessions!
Complementing the rich discussions and presentations, we encourage you to actively contribute to the poster sessions scheduled throughout the conference. This is a valuable opportunity for you to showcase your research, methodologies, and findings, fostering insightful discussions with your peers.
In the spirit of recognizing excellence, several prizes will be awarded to selected poster presentations based on scientific quality and originality of the research, as well as on contributions to Open Research Data. We invite you to submit abstracts and we look forward to welcoming your contributions.
Behind the scenes
DS4S is co-organized and mainly funded by the Swiss Data Science Center and the University of Bern. It is also supported by the National Open Research Data Strategy Council, by the Hasler Foundation, and by Bern's Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.
Angelika Kalt (President of the National ORD Strategy Council, director of the Swiss National Science Foundation), Joël Mesot (President of ETH Zürich) and Martin Vetterli (President of EPFL) take part in the program (notably via the panel discussion and the ORD session, with a talk by Angelika Kalt). Martin Vetterli will open the event with the DS4S chairs.
