The department will work in both applied and theoretical research in data science and statistics, and aim at publications in top journals in the field. We will have activities in teaching, supervision of students, and research projects.  We will also be a single point of contact for other departments at BI to obtain, coordinate and collaborate on cutting-edge knowledge in advanced data science.

BI Norwegian Business school and Simula Research Laboratory have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen our expertise on data science through collaboration related to research and have established a new research center in data science.

The new data science research centre, Simula@BI, will aim at facilitating academic collaboration in data science across BI and with Simula and other external partners.
