About WiDS Belgium
Women in Data Science (WiDS) Belgium was established in 2023 as an independent chapter of the global WiDS movement. Our founding member, Setareh Tasdighian, participated in WiDS Zürich for two years as a mentor and as a member of the organizing committee. The positive spirit and soulful work of that experience inspired her to bring the same movement to Belgium.
