The Data Science Initiative at the University of Mannheim
Our offer is aimed at students with a quantitative background at the University of Mannheim. We provide our members with broad and professional training in the fields of data analysis and machine learning. To this end, we offer programming courses in Python, R and SQL every semester, for which we use both internal and external instructors.
This training is supplemented by extensive practical work. Together with our cooperation partners, we work on various real-world challenges in workshops. Advanced members help companies, public institutions and researchers with temporary projects.

The Work of STADS
Every association is only as strong as its members, which is why the commitment of our active STADS members is particularly important to us. With the support of experienced board members and department heads, you can take on responsibility in a department at an early stage, learn new things and contribute to STADS’ success as part of a team.
STADS is divided into six departments, all of which take on important tasks for the association. From discussions with companies in the cooperation department to critical decisions about our infrastructure in the IT department, each department offers exciting insights into the life of the association and lots of fun at joint events.
