The Essex Big Data and Analytics Summer School runs from 23 July to 3 August and gives graduates, postgraduates, researchers, academics, practitioners and people in business a chance to join leading academics, data scientists, and engineers from around the world to explore the latest advances in the field.

 

There will be attendees and data science leaders from Microsoft, BT, Fraunhofer and more, and training covering, data curation, legal and ethical angles, methodologies and techniques and practical applications in business health and other sectors.
