Our partners
Australia has an impressive and expanding footprint in data science research and training. However, this footprint is spread over a large continent; the field of data science is very fast-moving; demand for data science capability and capacity is still exploding; and there is increasing interest not only in individual groups but also in collective and national profiles.
To provide a more comprehensive and inclusive solution, we have established the Australian Data Science Network (ADSN). The ambition is clearly and deliberately to enhance and expand opportunities and outcomes for all members of the Network.
We invite any centres or professional societies interested in being part of the ADSN to contact us about becoming a partner and connect with other organisations below.
Partners also receive access to our monthly ADSN Centre Spotlights, where members are given a chance to get to know one another better in an online meeting. Each partner presentation is recorded, and the latest ones can be viewed on our YouTube channel.
