The School is an initiative of Amsterdam Data Science, a partnership between CWI, HvA, UvA and VU. Currently, these institutes offer over 200 courses and programmes in Data Science related study – and the idea is to further intensify the cooperation to be able to cope with the huge demand for Data Science talent worldwide.

The launch event will be opened by Kajsa Ollongren, Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam. Part of the launch event will be a mini-conference on “The Future Of Data Science Education”.
