What we’re about

Welcome to Inspiring Women in Data Science!

Inspiring Women in Data Science are a collective that support, encourage and give visibility of educated & ambitious self-identified women who want to be on the cutting edge of innovation in data. In fact, our mission is to help closing the gender gap in Data science. So, we really encourage all gender minorities and supporters of gender minorities to be part of our monthly sessions.

Why IWDS?

We understand that it can sometimes be intimidating to move into a new area of learning, and that it is difficult to have your voice heard and questions answered in the rapid stream of technical innovation. We're here to help all those that are starting in their path into Data Science to learn and share their knowledge to a high technical level.

Our mission

We aim to be a supportive and collaborative environment that helps to build skill and confidence by learning from the women who have already found success in Data Science. We wish to find the perfect balance between inciting passion for technology, and developing skills that improve the women’s professional futures.

If you have a background in any STEM degree or you just wish to share your ideas with like-minded people, with a view to branching out into new areas of knowledge, and you are a big supporter of making the Data Science field more diverse and inclusive, then we would love you to join us.
