The Interdisciplinary Data Science Conference (iDSC) 2027 will take place from 19-21 May 2027 at the CU Campus Villach of the CU - Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, Austria. We are delighted to welcome the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences as a new cooperation partner within the continuously growing iDSC network. The conference brings together researchers, industry leaders, innovators, and public-sector stakeholders to discuss the latest developments in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Transformation.

A particular focus of iDSC 2027 lies on the future of Data Spaces, Digital Ecosystems and Industrial Data Sovereignty. As organizations increasingly collaborate across company and sector boundaries, trusted mechanisms for data sharing, governance, interoperability, and value creation become essential. The conference explores emerging architectures for Data Spaces, Gaia-X related initiatives, Digital Product Passports, industrial data ecosystems, and data-driven business models that enable organizations to unlock value while maintaining sovereignty over their data assets.
