Expert Talk: JADS, alive and kicking
This event has already taken place. You can watch the recording below.
Join us for the first Expert Talk in the JADS Lustrum series, in which we will talk to the 3 JADS scientific unit leaders Ksenia Podoynitsyna, Willem-Jan van den Heuvel, and Eric Postma, to tell the origin stories of JADS, and look at the past, present and future.
Lustrum series
As part of the first JADS lustrum celebrations, we will dedicate a series of JADS Expert Talks on the scientific competences that we have developed at JADS over the past five years.
This series will feature round table discussions focused on the scientific contents of the three JADS research units: Data Analytics, Data Governance and Data Entrepreneurship. The discussion will provide a full overview of what has been achieved so far and will reveal some of the plans for the near future. To put the units’ developments in a broader perspective, a number of guests will join at the round table discussion to provide their views on the state of affairs and the future prospects. We are looking forward to lively debates and you are cordially invite to tune in and participate.

About the Expert Talks
In early 2020, JADS launched the concept of Expert Talks. Small scale, interactive, hybrid events where an expert in a certain field gives a presentation about their personal experiences and expertise on a data science related subject. He or she is then joined at the table by other experts, industry leaders or young talent for an interactive discussion, in which the audience can participate as well.
