ADSA Members support our team to develop events and resources that benefit the entire data science community.
Members also enjoy a variety of special benefits.
Membership is open to any academic unit, non-profit institution, or individual engaged in data science in higher education or interested in supporting academic data science from adjacent sectors. We encourage membership in ADSA to signal support of our mission, vision, and values. We believe strongly that together we can shape the future of data science for the better and create a community of researchers and educators who take responsibility for a just, equitable future where data science approaches are thoughtfully applied in all domains for the benefit of all.
ADSA activities are generally open to members and non-members alike, but membership does have special benefits and opportunities. Check out the options for:
- Institutions: universities, colleges, or nonprofit organizations
- Research Labs and Small Research Institutes: research groups with less than 20 members
- Individuals: available to all sectors
Note: Annual membership follows a typical academic fiscal year: July 1st - June 30th.

Membership FAQ
What do you mean by “Institution”?
Because we know that some organizations house multiple data science departments, institutes, programs, and initiatives that would like to retain their individual identity, we offer institutional membership at a variety of levels. If your university or college would like a single membership (shared single member benefits), you may pool your resources for said membership. On the other hand, if multiple units within your university or college would like to retain their identities in ADSA materials (such as the Member Book) and the ADSA website, those individual units may opt for their own memberships. For-profit entities are encouraged to support ADSA through our Sponsorships program.
What if institutional membership is too expensive?
If institutional membership cost is prohibitive, consider individual membership. Individual members may opt-in to a member directory. We will post a list of institutions with individual members on our website.
