TOP Women in Data Science

Data Science is becoming increasingly prevalent in today's world, as organizations across various sectors harness its power to derive insights and make informed decisions.As the adoption of data science solutions continues to surge, so does the demand for skilled professionals in this domain. Research suggests that by 2025, Poland alone may require up to 200,000 IT workers, including those specializing in data science. In order to meet this demand and ensure that the technology is accessible and useful to all, it's essential that a diverse range of professionals work on it. This means not only hiring individuals from different backgrounds and cultures, but also promoting gender equality in the field. Unfortunately, like many areas of the tech industry, data science is currently male-dominated. This needs to change in order to create a more inclusive and equitable industry. To address this issue, the Perspektywy Education Foundation has launched the TOP 100 Women in Data Science initiative. This program aims to recognize and celebrate women who are making significant contributions to the field of data science, and to inspire the next generation of female professionals in the industry. The initiative will culminate in the Excellence in Data Science Awards, which will be presented to the 10 most prominent female data science experts in Poland during the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit 2024. By recognizing and promoting the achievements of women in data science, we can help to create a more diverse and inclusive industry, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the power of technology.
