Engagement

The Aberdeen Centre for Health Data Science (ACHDS) supports interactivity at every level to raise the profile of health data science and:

create an environment of partnership within the Centre and with national and international collaborators
drive collaboration across all disciplines
develop new partnerships with key stakeholders, including industrial partnerships
work with the University of Aberdeen Public Engagement with Research Unit (PERU) and NHS Grampian Public Involvement Network to engage with and involve our population, across Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Grampian and the North, in health data science.

We encourage and welcome anyone interested in collaborating with us to get in touch ACHDS@abdn.ac.uk

Women in Data Science Conference 2023

In the summer of 2023, we organised Women in Data Science (WiDS) Aberdeen, an independent event that coincided with the annual WiDS Worldwide conference organized by Stanford University and an estimated 200+ locations worldwide.

The conference was highlighted by MSPs in a debate in the Scottish Parliament on the topic of increasing the participation of women and girls in STEM.
