On May 25, Women in Data Science (WiDS) 2023 took place in the Vielberth Building at the University of Regensburg.
The conference is organized by the Regensburg AIR-Initiative. WiDS was originally launched by Stanford University. The goal of the conference is to showcase the exciting work of women in the field of data science. Although all speakers are women, participants of all genders are invited to attend the presentations and join the discussion.
For the past five years, regional teams have also been organizing global events within this framework. An interdisciplinary team adopted the concept for Regensburg and brought it to the cathedral city for the third time this year. The approximately 140 participants were treated to engaging keynote speeches by experienced experts. During the poster session, there was a lively exchange of ideas on a wide range of research projects. There was also ample time for networking.
