NOTE: This event is open to Stanford affiliates only.
Join us for the third Sustainability Data Science Conference, hosted by Stanford Data Science and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, on April 10, 2025! This event unites data and sustainability scientists to tackle pressing environmental challenges using innovative datasets, methods, and algorithms.
Students and postdocs will give 8–10-minute presentations, sharing novel datasets, data-driven analyses, or key research questions requiring data science.
