A PHOTO RECAP OF THE RUGBY DATA CHALLENGE

By 25 March 2026No Comments

A look back at a day of total immersion for our Master 1 students during the Rugby Data Challenge, a collaboration between the French Rugby Federation and DIGISPORT.

Using a simulated dataset, students worked throughout the day to tackle a central question: How can player fitness be optimized to improve performance while minimizing injury risks?
Each group then presented their methodology, the indicators used, and their final conclusions.

A huge thank you to our three speakers who shared their expertise and their cross-disciplinary vision bridging the field and data:
Jonathan Laugel: Data & AI Project Manager at PwC and former Rugby 7s international.
Marie-Aurélie Castel: PhD student and Sport Scientist at the FFR, Rugby 7s international, and alumna of the DIGISPORT SNS Master’s program.
Jérémy Cheradame: Lead Data Scientist at the FFR.

Well done to all the students for their commitment to this project!
