Data is at the heart of contemporary research, from large scale biological experiments to online social dynamics, opening a window to understand, predict and influence our most pertinent systems.

The Bar Ilan Data Science Institute is dedicated to advancing and promoting data science and AI research across various departments and faculties within the university. Through community-building events, meetings, and communication channels, the institute fosters research collaboration and knowledge sharing among researchers. Additionally, the institute assists researchers in submitting research grants and offers consulting and research services in data science and AI to both internal university bodies and external organizations. Furthermore, it provides access to high-performance computing resources and offers application-level user support to facilitate cutting-edge research in the field.

The Bar-Ilan Data Science Institute links researchers who collect large-scale data, with others who develop tools for its analysis, providing a diverse platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Representing research from a range of different areas – computer science, math, biology, brain, law and the humanities – we wish to join strengths and work as a team to understand the world through data.
