This award celebrates the achievements of female scholars early in their careers, highlighting their potential to shape the future of data science. The “Student Award” honors a female student whose research and academic endeavors have exhibited exceptional quality and promise, encouraging and supporting the next generation of female data scientists.
Each award carries a prize of $1,000, and only one person will be selected for each. The evaluation for these awards will be determined through nominations and voting by the “Women Award Committee”.
