Tell us where you are in the data science universe

Open-access content Tuesday 4th October 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

The modelling, analytics and insights from data (MAID) working party was set up earlier this year

The modelling, analytics and insights from data (MAID) working party was set up earlier this year to understand the latest developments in the data science universe (such as big data, predictive analytics, machine learning) and what the IFoA could do to support its members in this ever-evolving environment. 

The working party is currently running a member survey, gathering information on current levels of awareness and practice among IFoA members. 

Regardless of your experience with data science techniques, the working party would love to hear your thoughts. 

You have until 14 October to complete the survey at bit.ly/maid2016

More information on the MAID working party can be found on the IFoA website at bit.ly/28IMSc5
