Sustainable Data Science Training Program awarded $1.65 M from NSERC CREATE
Today, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced more than $26 million in funding for 16 new training initiatives through its Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program.
McGill’s Professor Bettina Kemme of the Department of Computer Science has received $1.65 million from NSERC CREATE for the Sustainable Data Systems for Data Science (SDSDS) program, to be distributed over six years. The funds will be used to train teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows, preparing them with the professional and technical skills for their future careers in academia, industry, or government. Several Canadian and international academic and industry partners are collaborators on the McGill-led program.
