The Swiss Data Science Center

Supporting the entire data science journey serving the Swiss academic community, private and public sector stakeholders.
The Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) is a national research infrastructure in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) within the ETH domain. Its mission - to enable data-driven science and innovation for societal impact - guides its initiatives in research projects, knowledge and technology transfer, and education.

From collection and management to machine learning, AI, and industrialization - the SDSC supports academic labs, hospitals, industry, private and public sector stakeholders, including cantonal and federal administrations and NGOs/IOs, in their entire data science journey.

With a large multidisciplinary team of data science and AI researchers and professionals at EPFL in Lausanne, ETH Zürich, and the PSI in Villigen, the SDSC provides expertise and services to stakeholders in various domains, such as health and biomedical, energy and sustainability, climate and environment, digital society and large-scale infrastructures.

The SDSC also contributes to initial and executive education programs at EPFL and ETH Zurich.
