The University of Milan hosted a creathon focusing on Data Science, a key subject for the understanding and analysis of contemporary phenomena. The “Paradoxes in Statistics and We are the Data” initiative was launched by FMD and the Italian Statistics Society and was also adopted by various Italian universities. Statistics is not just a subject. It’s a tool that allows us to understand the reality that surrounds us. Through the analysis of data, the students, aided by qualified coaches, professors, and university students, discovered how numbers can influence key decisions in any sector.
