Data Science Workshop at SISSA

Following the success of the Data Science Proposal for the “Dipartimenti di Eccellenza”, on February 26 and 27 SISSA will host a first workshop along this new research direction.

The meeting will have a series of presentations, starting in the afternoon of the 26th, and ending in the morning of the 27th, where well known experts conducting research on Data Science will illustrate the main open questions in this new branch of Science, and review their main achievements. The meeting will be in room 128, with the schedule given below. 

A dinner will be organized for the evening of the 26th, with details which will be communicated during the workshop.

For further information, please contact Carlo Baccigalupi: bacci@sissa.it
