Data Science in the Irish Market
Data Science and analytics are rapidly becoming big business in Ireland. It has been approximated that there will 40,000-60,000 analytics roles in Ireland by 2020, with a large proportion in "emerging" roles, including both deep analytics roles, and "analytics-savvy" roles. In recent years many multinational corporations such as Deutsche Bank, Zalando, IBM, Aon and Citi have positioned their global analytics centres of excellence in Ireland.
UCD Scholarship
The growth of importance in Data Science roles is also borne out by figures announced by UCD which show a 40% rise in enquiries about Data Science-related courses and applications up 65% on the same time last year.As non profit event, a key element of the DatSci Awards is the Scholarship partnership with UCD Michael Smurfit School.
