CPDSE is a joint initiative between UCPH and SDU that integrates data science into pharmaceutical education. It trains future drug experts across all academic levels through research-based programs.
Data science is an integral core capability in life science workers and organisations.
We upgrade, transform and help deliver pharmaceutical educations so universities can supply well-educated and data-science savvy people – spanning bachelor, master, PhD and life-long learning levels.
The center's activities span community-building, infrastructure, course design, direct teaching, and the networks that keep pharma data science moving across institutions.
We build a strong and open community for pharmaceutical data science.
We develop and deploy low-friction infrastructure that empowers non-expert data science.
We upgrade and reform pharma-courses, and design new courses that integrate data science.
We contribute directly to teaching at BA, MS, PhD and life-long learning levels.
We connect and develop national and international networks in pharma data science and data science education.
Our center's philosophy is rooted in the principles of the New Ways of Working movement -- taking values and inspiration from sociocracy, agile, lean, and teal.
The center’s purpose is a living thing that evolves with the team, with everyone sharing responsibility and leadership.
Information is openly shared across the CPDSE by default, fostering trust and enabling everyone to make better decisions.
Decisions are made by those closest to the work. They seek advice from others before acting – ensuring broad input without requiring full consensus.
We embrace iterative progress. Get a working version out quickly to test and learn, rather than waiting for a perfect final product.
All work has an expiration date. Clear deadlines prevent projects from stalling and encourage continuous improvement through new iterations.
Team members have varying levels of availability. We structure work so everyone can contribute meaningfully, regardless of their time commitment.
CPDSE is organised into six interlocking circles. Each owns a slice of the work and reports out into the wider center.
