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.

Meet our new colleague and communication assistant #Miriam Knoops.
Miriam joined the team this Indian summer to make her own unique contribution to the team.
In 2010, Miriam graduated from the Academy of Journalism in Tilburg in the specialization area of corporate journalism and magazine making. She is very keen on reinforcing our communication and social media teams. Her tasks at IDS will include preparing posts for social media and texts for the IDS website and the Data Science community pages.
Miriam joined the Maastricht University through the Participation Project, which makes it more attractive for employers to hire someone with an occupational disability, like an autism spectrum disorder (ASS).
Welcome to our team; this will surely not be the last thing we have seen from you yet ;-) #UMDataScience #DataScience #Participatiewet23 hours 23 min ago -
