SoBigDataMaster MidTerm Event: the AlmavivA experience continues as partner of the master’s course in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining of the University of Pisa

Also this year AlmavivA has chosen to support the University of Pisa for the third edition of the second-level master’s course in Big Data Analytics & Social Mining. The MidTerm event, scheduled for 11th July, will focus on the annual procedure for becoming a data scientist.

Data mining and machine learning, data analysis and visualisation, complex systems and network science, computational sociology and social simulation, ethics, data journalism and storytelling: the didactic content of the master’s course is aimed at brilliant youths with varied experiences but who share a common drive to tackle an intense, multidisciplinary training course – an indispensable asset to learn how to use data sources creatively.

As partner of the initiative, AlmavivA has proposed the “Data Engineering@work” internship project. The company will be meeting the students tomorrow to present the AlmavivA world and discuss the internship, which is due to start in September at the company. The internship will consist in 500 hours of work in real contexts. The students will engage in tangible projects focusing on the design and creation of prototypes and solutions based on the use of data management technologies, with special emphasis on those used to develop NoSQL solutions and data analysis.

The master’s course was launched in January this year by the University of Pisa, in conjunction with the CNR (Italian National Research Council) and in collaboration with the Scuola Normale Superiore and the Scuola Superiore S. Anna higher education institutes. It avails itself of the significant experiences and projects of the joint SoBigData.eu (European Laboratory on Big Data Analytics and Social Mining – www.SoBigData.eu) laboratory.
