Join Northwestern’s Data Science Community

The Data Science Initiative (DSI) welcomes individuals and organizations interested  in joining the Northwestern Data Science Community.  We want the Community to be a live entity that enables members to connect and find help, inspiration, and learning/research/career opportunities.

Membership in the Northwestern Data Science Community is open to Northwestern students, postdocs, staff, faculty and alumni, Northwestern academic and research units (departments, graduate programs, and centers), Northwestern student organizations, and businesses and non-profit organizations in the Chicago Area.

We have created Community entries for some of the organizations involved with DSI.  If you want to obtain ownership of the entry for your organization in order to keep it up to date, please contact us.

If you want to add yourself or your organization, and you have a NetID, please create a new account here.
