Center Mission

As part of Cornell’s radical collaborations, the Center for Data Science for Enterprise and Society aims to unify programs and curricula in data science with an initial emphasis on questions grounded in data that are generated by human activity, including computational social science (e.g., sociology and government), the economics/computer science interface, aspects of digital agriculture in the production and management of agriculture, digital platforms supporting urban infrastructure (e.g., the sharing economy), and as a theme that is cross-cutting in many of these areas, the corresponding issues of privacy, security, and fairness; more generally, the Center enhances other programmatic areas associated with data science in an entrepreneurial and opportunistic fashion.
