Bern Data Science Initiative

Bern Data Science Day 02.05.2025

The Bern Data Science Initiative (BeDSI), in collaboration with the Data Science Lab (DSL) and the Digitalization Committee (DigiK), invites you to the 4th Bern Data Science Day. This event brings together researchers from all faculties of the University of Bern and data enthusiasts for a unique conference on Data Science. It provides a platform for colleagues across various disciplines to network and exchange ideas on emerging trends and research developments in data-driven science.

The program features keynote talks, presentations of projects funded by the Digitalization Committee, and interactive poster sessions designed to foster networking and collaboration. All researchers are invited to submit a poster related to data processing aspects of their work. Abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee for selection poster presentations. Winning contributions, determined by vote, will receive prizes from our sponsors.
