WiDS - Women in Data Science
Known as “WiDS”, Women in Data Science initiative was launched at Stanford University in 2015 with a one-day technical conference featuring outstanding women doing outstanding work in the field. Soon after, volunteer ambassadors took WiDS around the world by organizing similar conferences in their communities under the WiDS umbrella. As the WiDS community grew, we added additional year-round programming in education, innovation and leadership to strengthen community connections, and support, educate and inspire women everywhere.
WIDS (Women in Data Science) envisions a future where women are fully integrated and represented in all areas of Data Science, and share equally in decision making, economic prosperity, and opportunities.
WIDS Stanford integrates and builds on that mission at Stanford University, with Stanford Data Science as a platform for elevating women doing data-intensive science research.
