This association was founded to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical aspects of statistics and data science. We realized a pressing need for an organization dedicated to these subjects within the Bocconi community.

In a data-driven society, understanding and using data is integral to driving progress in diverse fields. We believe statistics and data science are key to uncovering insights from data, leading to groundbreaking developments and enabling informed decision-making.

Our primary goal is to cultivate a thriving academic culture that encourages students to undertake original research projects, apply their theoretical knowledge to solve real-world problems, and share their findings with the broader community.

We aim to establish a learning environment that values curiosity and encourages questions, where innovative thinking is celebrated, and knowledge is freely and openly shared.

We aspire to enrich the academic community by highlighting the significance of statistics and data science and their intersections with other areas, from management to artificial intelligence.

1. Curiosity and Desire to Learn: We believe in fostering an environment that places curiosity and the desire to learn at the forefront.

2. Collaboration and Interdisciplinarity: We strive to create synergies across various academic disciplines, enriching our collective understanding and fostering collaborative efforts.

3. Openness and Sharing: We encourage the free and open sharing of knowledge and celebrate innovative thinking.

4. Practical Application: We place importance on the practical application of theoretical knowledge, empowering students to undertake original research projects and solve real-world problems.
