SSA-AMSI Data Science Review: Purpose and Arrangements

Together with the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI), the SSA is launching a review of Data Science in Australian universities.

This review, to be chaired by D/Prof Kerrie Mengersen of QUT, will investigate the opportunities and challenges for statistics within the Australian data science landscape.

The review panel will include 3 SSA members: we are seeking expressions of interest from SSA members interested in joining the panel. If you’re interested, please send your nomination to president@statsoc.org.au, with a brief outline of your experience and motivation for joining the panel by COB on Friday May 6.

If you want to know more, D/Prof Kerrie Mengersen, Prof Tim Marchant (AMSI Director), and A/Prof Jessica Kasza (SSA President) will host a webinar at 3pm AEST on Tuesday the 3^rd of May to discuss the purpose and arrangements for this review.

Come along to hear about this review and ask your questions.
