8 ADS research grants awarded in June 2024

The focus area Applied Data Science has funding to financially support small research projects within the Special Interest Groups. The aim is to foster the application of data science techniques in research areas where they are not yet applied and to accelerate the development of data science techniques by working in an interdisciplinary way. 8 projects have been awarded a grant of up to EUR 7500 via the ADS grant calls in June 2024:
