Harnessing the Power of Data

December 13, 2019
@CEiiA, Matosinhos

Harnessing the Power of Data

Under the MPP2030 strategy, Data-Science is a fundamental element across all research areas. During this workshop, we will be discussing “how to best utilize data as a driver for research development”.

This is a joint workshop with Elsevier.

REGISTER HERE

There is no doubt that we are surrounded by data, coming from different sources, in such a way that for some it can be overwhelmed and for others of incalculable value. With such volume and with technology evolution, we can now process and analyze data to create models that not only explain the evolution of different elements until today but also allow us to preview to assist on the decision-making.

This workshop is dedicated to assess the current state of the main data science tools as well as analyzing concrete cases of application in research context.
