Subsidies for Accreditation by Global Standards Bodies and for Setting up Centers of Excellence

By joining the World Data Science Initiative (WDSI), an institution shows its interest in getting accredited under a WDSI subsidy. WDSI is selecting universities and institutions globally to accredit over 200 of them on the world’s most advanced, cross-platform data science and artificial intelligence standards. Alongside accreditation, WDSI aims to help computer science and IT departments of these universities introduce world-class undergraduate and master’s programs in data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. In addition, students will be able to earn international certifications at a subsidized fee. WDSI is also selecting high-potential institutions from different global regions to nurture them as role-model educators in data science and artificial intelligence. WDSI-recommended institutions get subsidized accreditation and help to set up centers of excellence on their campuses. Institutions also get help to establish a formal mechanism for certifying students on future-ready standards, curricula, and content. This will equip students with multiple analytics and machine intelligence platforms.
