Data Science
Big Data is rapidly taking over society. Good structures for using data responsibly are now essential. Here it is important to really understand the business and, in a wider sense, the context of the issue. For the study of Big Data, the ideal is to start from one or more research groups in a multidisciplinary manner (both within HZ and with external partners). The diversity of issues relevant to society to be dealt with in this manner is great. And it delivers a range of authentic professional situations for the instruction. The first filter will of course be formed by HZ’s priorities such as Land & Water, Tourism & Business and Industry & Logistics. These in turn link to, for instance, the top national sectors and the national academic agenda. Big Data issues really demand data-driven decision-making. That is the essence of the Data Science specialist area. Within the context of the above-mentioned priorities: Data Science in a Sustainable Digital Delta.
