In a world that’s being driven by data it’s more important than ever that we not only inspire the next generation of data scientists and analysts, but that we’re giving them the best training and experiences possible. I’m delighted that the ONS and Durham University have come together to make this happen in what will be a hugely beneficial partnership for everyone involved.
The partnership will also strengthen research collaboration between the ONS and ourselves. Our academics will contribute their expertise to critical research projects in areas including economic statistics and methodology.
A recent workshop we hosted brought together ONS and academic experts to identify key areas of focus for future research within economic statistics and methodology.
Durham University produces research and graduates that transform the world. Our partnership with the ONS will further enable academic expertise to shape economic thinking and data methodology, while also providing exceptional opportunities for our students to build successful careers in data science and analytics.
