📋 Tender Overview
Data is an essential building block of modern societies, and we are constantly producing more of it: citizens create data while browsing the internet, booking travel, or buying clothes online, and public bodies generate data from weather tracking & traffic monitoring. Thus, data is everywhere and growing at an unprecedented pace. So, it might not be a surprise to hear that the quantity of data that exists is expected to multiply by five between 2018-2025.
With the emergence of new technologies (IoT, AI, Extended Reality, Robots, Drones, Blockchain etc.), there has been an exponential increase in using&generating new data. Therefore, all of this has created an opportunity as well as a necessity to analyse & derive meaningful insights from data. Thus, the European Commision quick reactions come i.e. with ‘European Data Strategy’ that aims to enable the digital transformation of society through more & better access to data, but also to help us unlock its benefits. To leverage this potential, data needs to be analysed & shared in a trusted way respecting EU rules & values.
Thus, DATE4US’s main aim is to integrate a short teaching programme about the multidisciplinary approach of data science into different EU contexts, by offering an innovative & updated curriculum that is closely related with the current aspects of Romanian and EU digital society.
The DATE4US’s activities consist in teaching mainly to WUT’s students (but also other educational actors), creating a multidisciplinary approach by blending hybrid skills. DATE4US’s module will have a larger impact through the 5 courses (we estimate approx. 150-200 students to participate in this module each year & tothe annual workshops and/or webinars, where expect other related stakeholders to join us through the virtual lectures to discuss & better understand the EU dimension in such related contexts.
Other DATE4US’s outputs are: a project website, scholarly papers & articles, a social media presence, project reports.
