Initiatives

Revolutionizing data science careers and education around the world

HOME Initiatives

From spearheading the World Data Science Initiative (WDSI) to nurturing future talent through Data Science in Schools (DaSS), DASCA is leading new efforts to transform how data science is taught and practiced. Our initiatives drive global access, cutting-edge curriculum development, and opportunities for the next wave of data innovators.

Transforming Data Science Education

DASCA’s initiatives aim to transform how data science is taught and learned worldwide. Through these programs, DASCA seeks to:

Transforming Data Science Educators
  • Accelerate curriculum adaptation and implementation.
  • Ensure quality management in data science education.
  • Empower universities to enhance student employability.
  • Elevate teaching standards across institutions.
  • Drive innovation and research in emerging data science fields.
  • Lower the cost of adopting cutting-edge education in emerging nations.
World Data Science Initiative

As the first to offer accreditation for data science programs, DASCA continues to lead the World Data Science Initiative (WDSI), which now spans 60+ countries and provides hundreds of institutions with accreditation for  Data Science and AI undergrad and Master’s programs. This initiative aims to accredit more than 300 institutions and build a global pool of 250,000 certified professionals by 2027.

Contact us to discover how WDSI assistance can help elevate your institution’s academic quality delivery standards by upgrading the curricula with the latest in data science. By applying for DASCA accreditation under WDSI, your institution has the option also to get accredited by the Artificial Intelligence Board of America (ARTiBA) for the degree-granting AI programs at different levels under the recently commissioned DASCA-ARTIBA joint program.

Elevating Institutional Excellence

Through the World Data Science Initiative (WDSI), DASCA accredits Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in data science and related areas, offering a fast-tracked process for institutions recommended under the initiative. Additionally, DASCA subsidizes student certifications through a structured, formalized mechanism, ensuring that both institutions and students benefit from high-quality, affordable data science education.

Starting the Big Change

With subsidies reducing DASCA accreditation costs by up to 60%, institutions in developing nations can now compete with global peers. This equips universities to deliver cutting-edge, industry-relevant data science education, fostering promising careers and boosting global competitiveness.

By subsidizing accreditation and student certification, the initiative ensures that universities adopt international best practices and curricula, enhancing their capacity to develop a skilled workforce in data science and AI technologies.

Reaching the Next Level

Achieving global accreditation for data science, AI and related programs ensures that universities maintain consistently high academic standards. For select institutions identified by the initiative DASCA simplifies the accreditation process, making it faster and more cost-effective. As technology evolves rapidly, universities face challenges in aligning new courses with industry demands. The initiative bridges this gap by helping institutions equip students with the skills needed to excel in emerging tools, platforms, and technologies that employers expect.

Aligning with Industry Demands

The initiative helps tech schools stay in sync with industry demands by aligning curricula and systems with the universally accepted  standards and knowledge frameworks. This ensures accredited institutions stay up-to-date with evolving tech domains. Accreditation empowers universities with robust mechanisms, curricula, certifications, and teaching approaches that are continually benchmarked against the best in the world, enabling seamless adaptation to new industry expectations.

Contact us to learn how WDSI subsidies and grants can help your institution achieve DASCA accreditation, elevate its stature, and enhance your data science and AI programs. Introduce new academic and professional programs with ease.

Data Science in Schools (DaSS)

The DaSS initiative envisions transforming the way we prepare future technology leaders. By 2026, DaSS aims to equip over 2,000 K-12 educators globally with the latest data science teaching methodologies. This program will provide teachers with cutting-edge resources and curricula to inspire students, preparing them for a world where data science is central to innovation across industries.

  • The DaSS-K12 Partnership – Inspiring the Next Generation of Data Thinkers

    DASCA’s Data Science in Schools (DaSS) initiative seeks to engage over 2,000 K-12 schools worldwide in integrating data science across both STEM and non-STEM subjects. Through vendor-independent curricula and innovative teaching methods, DASCA will support schools in embedding data science into academic programs. With a focus on developing nations, the initiative ensures all students—regardless of interest—gain a foundational understanding of data science and its role in enhancing their learning and future opportunities.
  • The DaSS-K12 Partnership – Igniting Young Minds

    The Data Science in Schools (DaSS) initiative plans an exciting contests, events, and certifications in data science and AI for high school students. The DaSS team has planned out dynamic programs aimed at integrating modern technologies like data science and artificial intelligence into K-12 schools worldwide. These efforts are designed to reshape how students prepare for future careers, providing them with the skills needed for the data-driven world ahead.
  • Data Science in Schools: Inside the Initiative

    The Data Science in Schools (DaSS) initiative has five core elements:
    • Engaging students through data science contests and events.
    • Simplifying data science integration into existing curricula.
    • Promoting hands-on learning with Hackathons and Olympiads to support undergraduate admissions.
    • Certifying high school students in key data science areas, also beneficial for admissions.
    • Accrediting schools through a unique STEM-based model, using a portal-driven process.
