Welcome to Brown's Data Science Initiative website.

Brown University's Data Science Initiative serves as a campus hub for research and education in data science.

Engaging partners across campus and beyond, the DSI​'s mission is to:

• Facilitate and conduct both domain-driven and fundamental research in data science;
• Increase data fluency and educate the next generation of data scientists; 
• Explore the impact of the data revolution on culture, society, and social justice.

Like data science itself, the Data Science Initiative at Brown is a relatively new enterprise. We envision our role in the university and beyond as something to build over time, with the flexibility to meet the changing needs of Brown’s students and research community. A key aspect of our mission is to be attentive to the impact of the data revolution and our own activities as part of this revolution on culture and society, in the service of social justice. 

Please explore the website to find out about our events, about data science research at Brown, our Master’s program in Data Science, and more. Whether you’re a prospective student, a Brown community member who wants to see what we do or collaborate with us in some way, or a potential partner in a data-rich industry, feel free to contact us with questions or ideas.
