Data Science Leadership Summit: Summary Report

Data science is a burgeoning field. As a result of recent technological advances, widespread and accelerated uptake of these technologies by many sectors, and increasing workforce demands, many data science initiatives across universities and colleges in the US and beyond are sprouting up at a rapid pace. The Data Science Leadership Summit, hosted on March 26, 2018 by the Data Science Institute at Columbia University, was the first convening of leaders of these initiatives. The Summit was co-funded by the National Science Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
