EY’s Data Science Challenge is now open and is aimed at finding the next generation of data science superstars.
The challenge will require students to use data science and analytics techniques to understand the key drivers and influencers of employment levels globally, and to predict the relationship between macro trends and quality of life.
The reward is a paid internship with EY Data & Analytics. Working with some of the brightest minds in data science, you’ll gain exposure and insight into how they solve some of the trickiest challenges faced by organisations and governments.
In addition to the internship, winner/s and runner/s up will also receive prize money of up to $5000.
