The province of North Brabant, the municipality of Den Bosch, Tilburg University, and Eindhoven University of Technology have signed a cooperation agreement on September 4 aimed at establishing a new data scientist training programme at master's and post-master's level. Dialogic conducted a feasibility study for this programme in advance.

The plan involves three master's programmes across Eindhoven University of Technology, Tilburg University, and Den Bosch. The feasibility study assessed the demand for data scientists, expected enrolment numbers for the programmes, and the economic return of a new programme in Den Bosch.

The research indicates that over the past few years, the need for data scientists has increased, and there is sufficient student interest to fill the programmes. Due to the small scale of the programmes, the direct economic impact is limited. The indirect effects could be more substantial, but the scale and implications remain uncertain.
