Datavysts are a new hybr-eed of data scientists and social innovators who bridge the gap between rapidly advancing technology and increasing societal needs.

This is the vision behind our diverse doctoral network: purpose-driven PhD fellows collaborating with real-world changemakers across Europe. It starts with us — and four years of transformative research, development and training designed to catalyse a whole movement of Datavysts.

We connect data science with social innovation to serve the common good.

Our manifesto

How we’ll reboot data science and artificial intelligence to help build a better future for all.

As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) doctoral network, the Datavysts have a unique mandate. It isn’t just about proffering groundbreaking theories. Through co-creation, we want to turn the possibilities of data science and AI into positive impact across a range of societal needs, from social inclusion and democracy to health and climate change.

Our work

The Datavysts will develop real-world solutions to some of our most urgent human problems.

Over four years, we’ll collaborate across four work areas with tangible outcomes. From laying the ground with ethical foundations and frameworks to developing and testing cutting-edge tools, our co-creation will culminate in an open-access academy of data science and AI for common good.
