Goal Eight: Data

Knowledge and Impact
Goal Eight

Create the leading academic hub for data science and artificial intelligence to drive research and teaching in every corner of the university and magnify our impact in every corner of the world.

We seek to become the leading university center for data science and application, one that makes emphatic contributions to scholarship and society in vital fields. To achieve this goal, we will:

  •  Build a universitywide hub for data science and translation that will provide a platform for sophisticated data-driven discovery to inform our research, education, and clinical and service activities.
  • Grow our leadership in data science and artificial intelligence including through significant investments in faculty in the Whiting School of Engineering.
  • Work to define how the sharing of data in an ethical manner can responsibly shape the future of knowledge and science.

Time and again, we have demonstrated that when we strive and dream together, we can expand the horizons of knowledge and impact the world in extraordinary and indelible ways. Now is our chance to do so again. This strategic framework sets out ten new goals for Johns Hopkins University through 2030 under four organizing pillars: One University, Individual and Collective Excellence, Knowledge and Impact, and Community Partnership and Economic Opportunity for Baltimore and the other communities of which we are a part. We look forward with great anticipation to all that lies ahead and all that we will achieve together—as One University.
