German Data Science Days 2026, Munich

Data, the new gold of the digital era, Deep Learning, and AI are some of the currently prominent buzzwords. Data science, the science and methodology of extracting information and knowledge from data, plays a major role in science, industry, and business, and close collaboration between all parties involved is necessary. The German Data Science Days (GDSD) provide the ideal platform for such collaboration: We bring together data scientists from various fields and create a forum for users and experts with the aim to identify and discuss new methods, explore new fields of application, and enhance the professional image of data scientists.

The German Data Science Days are organised by the elite master program Data Science at LMU Munich in cooperation with the German Data Science Society (GDS) e.V..
