Watson Studio Desktop is now free for academia
Machine Learning, Data Science, and Predictive Analytics techniques are in strong demand. That’s why since its launch, IBM Watson Studio has proven to be very popular with academia. Thousands of students and faculty have been drawn to Watson Studio for its powerful open source and code-free data analysis tools. Now, this all-in-one platform for data science is free to students and faculty with unlimited use with Watson Studio Desktop.
Unlimited Desktop for academia
As a reminder, Watson Studio Desktop comes in 3 forms:
- Watson Studio Cloud — the freemium all-cloud offering
- Watson Studio Local — enterprise behind-the-firewall use
- Watson Studio Desktop — a fast and easy desktop install with unlimited compute
Watson Studio Desktop, with unlimited compute, is now available for free to students and faculty for teaching and learning purposes via a 1 year subscription. Because this is a subscription, new features and functionality will be added every few weeks through in-product updates. In addition, a student or faculty member can re-register after 1 year as long as they remain a student or faculty member.
