The Data Science and AI Initiative (DSAI) offers sponsorships of up to $5,000 to support workshops that bring together researchers, students, and industry professionals to explore emerging trends in data science and AI. Our sponsorships help facilitate high-quality, collaborative events that drive innovation and impact in the field.

Sponsored workshops receive promotional support through DSAI’s web and print materials, as well as day-of-event branding, ensuring strong visibility. Join us in shaping the future of AI and data science by bringing impactful, interdisciplinary ideas to life.

We prioritize funding for workshops that align with the following criteria:

  1. Relevance to Data Science and/or AI – The event should focus on advancing knowledge, research, or applications in these fields.
  2. Alignment with DSI’s Mission and Goals – The workshop should support DSI’s commitment to fostering collaboration, education, and innovation in data science and AI.
  3. Connection to DSI’s Focus Areas – Proposals should align with one or more of DSI’s key research and engagement priorities.
  4. Interdisciplinary Approach – We value projects that bring together diverse perspectives across disciplines to drive meaningful progress.
