6th Interdisciplinary Data Science Conference (iDSC'25)
from May 26th-28th 2025 in Salzburg -
where experts from science and practice meet!
Based on the overall digitalization in all spheres of our lives, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are nowadays cornerstones for innovation, problem solutions, and business transformation. Data, whether structured or unstructured, numerical, textual, or audiovisual, put in context with other data or analyzed and processed by smart algorithms, are the basis for intelligent concepts and practical solutions. These solutions address many application areas such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, smart energy generation, and distribution, and environmental management. Innovation dynamics and business opportunities for effective solutions for the essential societal, environmental, or health challenges, are enabled and driven by modern data science approaches.
However, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are forming a new field that needs attention and focused research. Effective data science is only achieved in a broad and diverse discourse – when data science experts cooperate tightly with application domain experts and scientists exchange views and methods with engineers and business experts. Thus, the 6th Interdisciplinary Data Science Conference (iDSC'25), formerly the International Data Science Conference, brings together researchers, scientists, business experts, and practitioners to discuss new approaches, methods, and tools made possible by data science.
The cooperation of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences, the University for Continuing Education Krems (Danube University Krems), and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology demonstrates the strong Austrian scientific footprint and a deep commitment to a cooperative effort for jointly building an international community from science, research, as well as business, through data science and data analytics.
The iDSC is designed as a conference with a dual approach: by bringing together the latest findings in research and science, as well as innovative implementation examples in business and industry. The conference aims to reflect current scientific breakthroughs and application expertise, stimulating shared professional discourse. The iDSC realizes this approach through its Research & Science track, the Application & Use Cases track, and interactive workshops. Additionally, iDSC strives to provide a PhD colloquium, enabling young researchers to exchange ideas with senior faculty, industry experts, and fellow students. These activities are complemented by exciting keynotes and panels, fostering international exchange and discussion of current and next-gen trends in data science.
The highly anticipated 6th Interdisciplinary Data Science Conference, iDSC’25, is poised to take place just a stone’s throw away from Salzburg at the Fachhochschule Salzburg Puch/Urstein in Spring 2025. This prestigious event is set to attract leading experts, researchers, and professionals from across the globe, converging to explore the latest trends, breakthroughs, and innovations in the dynamic field of data science. Against the backdrop of Salzburg’s breathtaking scenery and cultural heritage, attendees can anticipate a diverse program that creates a unique platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. The picturesque setting of Salzburg and the academic ambience of Fachhochschule Salzburg Urstein promise to make iDSC’25 a memorable confluence of intellectual discourse and the enchanting Austrian landscape.
