Northwest Data Science Summit

The eScience Institute empowers researchers and students in all fields to answer fundamental questions through the use of large, complex, and noisy data. As the hub of data-intensive discovery on campus, we lead a community of innovators in the techniques, technologies, and best practices of data science and the fields that depend on them.Specifically, we:1.Bring expertise and help researchers at UW to leverage data science tools, methods, and best practices in their research and in their grant proposals.2.Are data science experts and, in collaboration with faculty at UW, advance the state-of-the-art in data science methods and in domain sciences that benefit from them.
