Our International Partners

The Israel Data Science and AI Initiative is pleased to collaborate with the Helmholtz Information and Data Science Academy (HIDA). HIDA is an umbrella organization that coordinates Data Science activities among the 19 Helmholtz research institutes located throughout Germany. This partnership will provide a platform for collaboration between IDSAI and HIDA in promoting research and development in Data Science in Israel and in Germany.

Contact Details

As a newly formed body, IDSAI’s contributions to research, education and society will depend to a large extent on the input received from the data science and related communities. Please feel free to make suggestions for ways in which you think that IDSAI can make a positive impact on the development and application of Data Science in Israel and the world.
