Data+ Applications Are Now Open for Summer 2025

Can a summer program spark a lifelong passion? For Matthew Ross, a Duke Ph.D. graduate in ecology, one of Duke’s interdisciplinary “plus programs” helped lead to a career that blends environmental science, data visualization and collaborative teaching.

Through the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, the Social Science Research Institute, the Rhodes Information Initiative, Duke Science & Society and other units, Gross Hall is alive with boundary-crossing scholarship.

Deadline: February 28, 2025 (priority); then rolling. Climate+ participants learn about data science concepts and methods while applying them to identify and assess complex climate issues and advance viable solutions.
