Description
Education, together with research and innovation, is one of the priorities of EU investments to boost jobs and growth. Its importance is particularly relevant in complex scientific contexts which have an important impact on societal and economical strategies. Education in such interdisciplinary scenario is usually performed in university courses and through focussed training events and workshops. These are organised by scientific institutes and address scientists at various stages of their careers.
This session will address the requirements of educators and scholars operating in scientific domains strongly characterised by the usage of complex data analysis, mining, and modelling techniques. In particular, it will discuss how the Open Science Commons vision and supporting solutions may contribute to the introduction of innovative and powerful environments supporting education and practical uptake of scientific knowledge.
