Data Analytic Competitions
Competitions harness the creativity and skills of students to address pressing challenges. This initiative rewards excellence and delivers actionable solutions to real-world problems.
How It Works
Designed to consider the intricate complexities of biological systems, these competitions are expertly structured, evaluated, and promoted to ensure meaningful outcomes.
Industry Involvement
Your institution provides a problem and the data. Our team of data analysts clean, anonymize, and pre-process the data to ensure fairness and usability for the competition. The competition is posted. Competitions may include predicting animal health outcomes, optimizing resource use in livestock management, analyzing consumer behavior in animal product markets, or virtually any problem related to animal systems that involve data.
Student Participation
Students from accredited universities around the world are invited to apply. Participants will use data analytics tools to develop solutions, with a focus on creativity, accuracy, and practical relevance.
Evaluation and Awards
Submissions are evaluated by an expert committee, comprising industry professionals and academic researchers. The best submission is awarded a scholarship, recognizing the student’s outstanding analytical skills and innovation.
Achieving Meaningful Outcomes
In addition to providing real solutions to industry problems, Data Analytics Competitions are designed to accomplish the following objectives:
Training Repository
Competitions will build a repository of real-world problems and solutions that will help train animal scientists, bioinformaticians, veterinarians, and other life science professionals. The repository will be organized into topic-specific packs for each area of expertise.
Curriculum Development
Student submissions will offer diverse perspectives and solutions to the same problem. These solutions will inform workshops and lectures, as well as learning paths designed to teach the next generation of animal scientists.
Pathways to Employment
Students who excel in the competitions can showcase their skills to industry partners, contributing to the creation of a talent pool—a database of potential candidates. This talent pool will provide employers with a streamlined way to identify and hire top talent based on demonstrated abilities in solving real-world problems.
