The Data Science Seminar "Triple-Helix Collaboration on Data" will focus on the synergy between academia, industry, and government known as the "triple-helix" model. The discussion spotlights interdisciplinary cooperation, innovation, and the creation of strategies or solutions leveraging data across the three sectors.

Scientists and organisations' representatives will address challenges and opportunities related to data and collaboration. The presentations will culminate with a panel discussion in which the three sectors come together. The seminar will be led by prof. Jaak Vilo.

The seminar will take place on January 29 at 16:15 in Delta Lecture Hall 1037. Welcome coffee will be served from 15:45. The Data Science Seminar is an official side-event of sTARTUp Day 2025.
