Amsterdam Data Science

Amsterdam Data Science (ADS) is a network organisation of academic and industrial partners that has established a strong Data Science and AI ecosystem in the Amsterdam region.

ADS exists to facilitate the growth and international standing of this ecosystem. It does this by connecting knowledge institutes and bridging academia, industry and society by providing a platform for collaboration and engagement.

Established in 2014, ADS is the initiative of the four knowledge institutes in Amsterdam: CWI, HvA, VU and UvA.

ADS organises a minimum of 12 Meetups a year, all of which are free to attend. These Meetups focus on exciting topics within the fields of Data Science and AI, including health, human interaction, cybersecurity and the real world applications of the research. ADS brings together speakers from academia and industry to showcase their expertise and world-class research in Data Science and AI.

CWI researcher Lynda Hardman is chair of ADS.
