For students
How We Make an Impact
We're a student initiative at the University of Mannheim that brings together curious minds with a passion for Data Science and quantitative thinking.
At STADS, we learn from each other, work on real projects with our partners from academia and industry, and grow as a team at workshops, events, and our legendary Monday Sessions.
Whether you're deep into data or just starting out — you'll find people here who love to learn, build cool things, and have a great time doing it.

Who are we?
We believe that knowledge is most powerful when applied. That's why we host events that both strengthen our theoretical foundation and provide hands-on opportunities to apply this knowledge. This way, our members not only understand data analytics but also know how to use the learned skills in real-world scenarios.
Theory
Learning Data Science begins with a solid theoretical foundation. Through workshops with our partners, lectures from professors in Data Science, and our Monday News Nights, STADS equips its members with essential concepts in machine learning, statistics, and business intelligence.
Practice
Mastering Data Science takes experience. That's why STADS emphasizes hands-on learning through the STADS Datathon in collaboration with corporate partners, real-world case studies and the STADS Data Bootcamp. These opportunities enable members to apply their theoretical knowledge, cooperate with companies, and refine their skills while gaining valuable industry experience.
