Institute of Data Science
Vast amounts of data being generated across all segments of society. If taken advantage of, these data offer an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate scientific discovery, to improve healthcare and wellbeing, and to strengthen our communities. Data Science is an interdisciplinary field concerning the scientific methods, systems and workflows to obtain insights from data.
Data Science has the potential to affect all aspects of human activity. We embrace this development and are preparing a new generation of data scientists, scholars and entrepreneurs who work in a collaborative manner to tackle the world’s most pressing problems.

Research
Research at IDS focuses on:
- accelerating scientific discovery through powerful platforms for scalable, collaborative and reproducible discovery science
- improving clinical care and wellbeing by developing a learning health system to understand the health of diverse populations and to maximise the wellness and health outcomes for individuals.
- empowering communities so that they can learn what works, what doesn’t, and how to enact change to improve the quality of life for themselves and their neighbours
IDS aims to tackle impactful research problems through multidisciplinary teams involving students, researchers, partners, and stakeholders inside and out of the university. We aim to train the next generation of data scientists to be even more collaborative and interdisciplinary.

As part of a youth initiative, we are launching a Youth-Data Science (Y-DS) Community for young people with an interest or curiosity about Data Science and its many applications. The aim is to make this increasingly important technology accessible to all students and junior researchers in Maastricht University. First of all, we want to know what Data Science means to you in your field of choice so that we can tailor our future events to your specific needs and interests! Please fill out this very short questionnaire and join us in creating an exciting and diverse Youth-Data Science Community! Additionally, stay tuned for more information on our upcoming Y-DS launch event!
