Learn about the WiDS initiative

Welcome to Women in Data Science Villach | Austria

An independent regional initiative of WiDS at Stanford University

Women in Data Science [WiDS] started as a conference at Stanford in November 2015. Now, WiDS includes a global conference, with approximately 200+ regional events worldwide; a datathon, encouraging participants to hone their skills using a social impact challenge; and a podcast, featuring leaders in the field talking about their work, their journeys, and lessons learned. 

WiDS aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and to support women in the field. 

We are proud to bring the global WiDS  initiative to Carinthia [Austria] and support with our conference the WiDS 30×30 Mission

“Our mission is to change the field of data science across the globe by elevating and empowering women to achieve 30% representation in education, innovation and leadership by 2030.”

– WiDS worldwide

All data science enthusiasts, regardless of gender, are invited to join the next WiDS Villach conference, taking place April 25, 2024, to hear about the latest data science related research and applications in a broad set of domains, learn how leading-edge companies are using data science for success, and to connect with the local scene.
