Data Science Panel Discussion

Welcome to the next meeting of Women in Machine Learning and Data Science (WiMLDS) in Dresden!

In this event, we are going to have a panel discussion on the Data Science topic. We are honoured to host three wonderful data scientists from AOK Plus, Otto Group Solution Provider, and Max Planck Institute in Dresden as our panelists.

Have you been thinking about getting into the world of data science & machine learning and want to know more about it? Are you working in the field already? Or, are you interested in what a data scientist does? You are all most welcome to join us as we bring in a panel of data science professionals from academia and industry to discuss various data science topics: What is data science? What skills are required to work as a data scientist? And other exciting questions!

All genders are cordially invited to attend this event.
