Services

Data Science for industry

We develop and implement predictive models based on the most modern machine learning techniques. We advise on and deliver software solutions for data collection, data integration, data analysis, and modelling.

Data Science for academia

We analyse data with statistical methods as well as machine learning tools. We collaborate in scientific projects from the early stages of the study design up to writing scientific publications. Our network of collaborators includes numerous leading experts both from the private industry and academia.

upskilling courses

We develop tailored upskilling courses for Universities and private companies. Our members lecture at several top-ranked universities such ETHZ and the University of Oxford. We also offer software courses (e.g. Advanced R) as well as methodological courses (e.g. an introduction to deep learning).
