UiO is hiring an associate professor in Statistics and Data Science with emphasis on Machine Learning.

Data Science får en sentral plass i UiOs fremtid. MatNat-fakultetets nye strategi gir mye oppmerksomhet til "Data Science and Computing".

(Norwegian) Kristin Vinje skriver: "Ved Universitetet i Oslo tar vi data science på alvor, og våre studenter skal være sikre på at de lærer hva som skal til for å kunne avdekke hva som skjuler seg bak de enorme datamengdene vi står overfor."

Nikolai Astrup, Minister of Digitalisation, opens Data Science Lab to bring together researchers, established industry and start-ups.

Using statistical methods, it is possible to reduce the probability of disasters at sea. The challenge is interpreting the large amount of data being streamed from the many sensors of a large ship. If we can do this, we can give warning in time.

The numbers are in. 222 students have applied to the Data Science master program, 133 of them with the Data Science program at their first choice.

Successful data science requires a mixture of statistics, computer science and domain knowledge. In DataScience@UiO, we bridge the first of these gaps by bringing statisticians and computer scientists from the Factulty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences together, and the other by bringing in industry-heavy research centers such as BigInsight and SIRIUS. In this blog-post, I want to say something about why I believe SIRIUS has a very important role to play in the current and future data science engagement at the University of Oslo.

Professor Sir Adrian Smith of the Royal Society has been appointed Institute Director for the Alan Turing Institute.

On May 21-22, the Data Science Institute at the University of Manchester will host a conference on Advances in Data Science at the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester. Several experts have been confirmed as invited speakers.

Data Scientists are in high demand across Europe, and the University of Oslo is helping fill the gap. The Data Scientist Master's program opens in the autumn of 2018.

On the 31st of October, all BigInsight partners met at the offices of Skatteetaten to share recent developments and plans for the road ahead.

Ian Horrocks (University of Oxford) and Sylvia Richardson (Cambridge University) have received Honorary Doctorates at the University of Oslo. The two Honorary Doctors have close ties to SIRIUS and BigInsight respectively.

Almost 150 people gathered in Realfagsbiblioteket in the evening of Friday June 16th, celebrating several happy and exciting data science events at the University of Oslo.

Annual reports from the data oriented SFIs BigInsight and SIRIUS have been published on the centres' websites. Both centres have seen much promising activity during their respective first full calendar years of operation.
