Translate Big Data into real-world solutions
The Data Sciences Institute draws actionable and ethical insights from the vast amounts of information collected around the world.

The world is in the middle of a data revolution. Data science has the potential to prevent disease before it strikes, precisely model the impacts of carbon emissions on global climate change, image black holes millions of light years away, and provide insights into long-dead languages and civilizations. Realizing this potential, however—generating insights that are actionable, and ethical—requires bringing together world-class scholars from across the data sciences and the many fields they impact.
The Data Sciences Institute has the potential to change the way we do research in every field. With our partnerships across U of T, Toronto, and beyond, we will advance the data sciences in a way that benefits everyone.
