IMPS2025 Datathon

2025 Datathon

Overview

We are pleased to introduce the second International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS) Student Datathon! Student members are invited to form or be added to a team of 2-4 and delve into a dataset made available by the Item Response Warehouse, performing analysis to compete for a cash prize of $2,500.

Registration is open until June 6, 2025. You can register for the Datathon by signing up with a group OR as an individual and be matched with other eligible members. Registration is open to IMPS 2025 conference attendees and there is no cost to participate.

The Datathon will run from June 9, 2025 to June 19, 2025, with the three top teams delivering a final presentation at IMPS 2025 conference.

To give greater flexibility for our international collaborations, the IMPS Datathon will take place over a 10-day period to improve accessibility rather than the traditional 72-hour window.

The 2025 Datathon is organized by the Psychometric Society Graduate Student Committee. A list of frequently asked questions is posted below, and further questions can be directed to Dr. Silvia Cagnone (silvia.cagnone@unibo.it).

What is a Datathon?

Datathons are a type of competition where teams work together to solve a common data-oriented problem in a limited time period over a day or weekend. For 2025, this collaborative competition spans 10 days, during which teams will work together to address a data-related challenge. Participants will submit a final report along with their analysis code, which will be evaluated by a panel of experts. The primary goal of the IMPS 2025 Datathon is to unite students and professionals from diverse backgrounds to explore an innovative dataset and apply cutting-edge psychometric approaches.
