ADSA is producing 3–5 case studies highlighting successful collaborations between academic data science programs and non-academic partners (e.g., industry, government, or nonprofits). These case studies will be part of a “how-to” guide for program leaders who are establishing similar programs or looking to enhance existing programs.

We are seeking examples of partnerships that go beyond one-off events or guest lectures — programs that involve meaningful, sustained collaboration between academic and non-academic partners. Examples could include:

• Jointly developed training or curriculum materials
• Collaborative research or workforce development programs
• Partnerships that provide real-world experience for students and mutual benefits for industry
