It is my joy to greet students from Asia-Pacific and Latin American countries and PSI faculty joining from across the Atlantic and the Pacific!
Our mission is to foster future leaders of data science, survey methodology, statistics, and interdisciplinary research by offering intensive, collaborative training to disadvantaged graduate students, college faculty, and researchers in private and public sectors particularly in countries in transition. We promote science diplomacy via a tool of academic engagement in higher education and interdisciplinary research without borders.
Our world-class faculty provides a wide array of courses that cover fundamentals and advanced topics of data science, statistics, and survey methodology. Our courses emphasize practical, data-driven applications to real-world problems. We also offer the Da Vinci Research Grant supporting highly promising university students and emerging leaders who are committed to trans-disciplinary research. We aim to invest in students as future scholars and leaders of their home countries as well as the global interdisciplinary research community
We wholeheartedly look forward to welcoming students at the 2017 PSI International. You will learn the fundamentals of collecting, processing, and extracting information from diverse data sets, including design-based survey data, big data and administrative records. You will be challenged to think outside the box and provide solutions to real-world problems, whether locally or globally. Alongside some of the great minds in the field, you will learn about cutting-edge approaches that integrate the latest data tools to answer your inquiries in economy, healthcare, education, law, science, IT, and other professional domains.
Very best,
