📢 Join the DSxHE Volunteer Community! 📢

We're looking for volunteers to join the Data Science for Health Equity (DSxHE) community - a global network of people passionate about ensuring that data science is used to improve health equity for everyone.

Whether you're a student, researcher, healthcare professional, data scientist, policymaker, designer, communicator, or simply someone with an interest in health equity, we'd love to hear from you. No previous volunteering experience is required, and you don't need to be an expert in data science to get involved.

What is Data Science for Health Equity?

Data Science for Health Equity (DSxHE) brings together people from across disciplines, sectors and lived experiences to explore how data science can be used to reduce health inequalities.

Through collaboration, knowledge sharing and community-led initiatives, we work to ensure that data-driven innovation is inclusive, ethical and delivers better health outcomes for all.

Our community is built around several thematic groups covering a range of areas, including:

• Data Diversity

• Participatory Research

• Kidney Health

• Children and Families

• Genomics

• Statistical Methods

• Musculoskeletal Health

  
  

These Themes bring together researchers, practitioners and community members to share knowledge, develop collaborations and explore new ideas.

Why volunteer?

Volunteers are at the heart of DSxHE. By joining the community, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Meet and collaborate with people from healthcare, academia, industry and the voluntary sector.

• Learn about the latest developments in data science and health equity.

• Support webinars, workshops and community events.

• Contribute to communications, partnerships and outreach.

• Help shape the future direction of DSxHE.

• Gain experience while making a meaningful contribution to an international community.
