The past year has been one of the busiest for IDSS. We have grown our
industry programs, started exciting new research collaborations, and opened our
MicroMasters program to thousands of learners worldwide.
One signature project of note: our
collaboration with Moroccan fertilizer leader OCP, which aims at creating a data-sharing market for farmers in sub-Saharan Africa to accelerate their adoption of technology and increase their production and profit-- all by unlocking the power and potential of data.
We've also run many successful events this year, most recently our annual celebration of statistics and 'L4DC,' a new conference we hosted that focuses on the exciting area emerging at the intersection of real-time physical data, machine learning, optimization and control.
I congratulate our 2019 graduates and look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the years to come.
