Over the past decade, it has consistently attracted prominent researchers and thought leaders worldwide. In addition to our conferences, we have partnered with Cambridge University Press to launch the open-access Data & Policy in 2019. This initiative provides a platform for rigorous scholarly work at the intersection of data science and public policy, supported by an integrated peer-review process linking conference presentations to publication opportunities.
