Celebrate Love Data Week 2025 at Northeastern University!

Mark your calendars for Love Data Week 2025, happening February 10-14, 2025! This international event, held during the week of Valentine’s Day, will be a chance for the NU community to celebrate all things data. 

What is Love Data Week? 

Love Data Week began in 2016 in the USA as “Love Your Data Week”. It quickly gained international traction, becoming a global celebration for diverse organizations and individuals passionate about data. During Love Data Week, universities, nonprofits, government agencies, corporations, and individuals host and participate in events and activities focused on data. Love Data Week is not a conference per se but rather a collection of events and activities happening both online and in-person across the globe. 

Love Data Week at Northeastern University 

Love Data Week is being sponsored by NU’s Data Literacy program and will take place throughout the week of February 10-14, 2025. NU’s theme for the week is “We Are All Data People,” recognizing that everyone at Northeastern, not just data professionals, engages with data. Faculty and staff will present on real-world applications, practical skills, and innovative and/or fun approaches to working with data in 15, 30, or 50-minute sessions focusing on a range of data-related topics such as data literacy, practical data use, ethics, data privacy, AI, and much more. Love Data Week will also feature a keynote address from a well-known expert in the data literacy field.

  • Learn new skills and strategies for working with data
