Organized by Prof. Wolfgang Maaß (Chair in Information and Service Systems), the 3rd European Data Science Summer School will take place at Saarland University, September 26th-30th 2016. Being one of the hottest topics in research at the moment, Data Science also draws increasing interest in the professional world. Related concepts like cloud computing and big data are well used in industry and media but they represent only marginal aspects of this fascinating area of research. Besides teaching a theoretic understanding, the 3rd European Data Science Summer School at Saarland University is intended to promote a mathematical, legal and a business-oriented approach that enables participants not only to understand but also to apply concepts related to Data Science. National premier speakers from academia and business will be involved in the intensive 5-day training. Participants will benefit from the mix of lectures, hands-on workshops and a poster session leading from understanding of required basic statistical principles to opportunities of data processing as well as to Data Science applications. Social events such as a cozy ‚Saarland barbecue‘ invite lecturers and participants to discuss questions in further detail. After last year’s success, the organizers hope again for a diverse group of interested people from all over Germany and Europe. The 3rd European Data Science Summer School addresses all interested Master and PhD students with a minimal programming skill set.
