Manchester Informatics Big Data Community Launch | Building the Big Data Community at Manchester
Host: Institute of Population Health
About the event:
Please join us at the launch of the Big Data Community:
Big Data is one of the 8 great technologies that are driving funding over the next few years. The University of Manchester has internationally recognised strengths in Big Data (including linked data and open data) across a range of faculties.
On the 9th December, Manchester Informatics is launching the Big Data Community, in order to bring together these research strengths and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in all forms of data research. The intention is to improve the University's responses to funding calls in Big Data and help to raise Manchester’s profile as a leading centre for Big Data research.
Our first event, 'Building the Big Data Community at Manchester,' will seek to map out the landscape of Big Data research taking place across the university, begin working towards building interdisciplinary relationships and seek to showcase our strengths to external organisations.
We would very much encourage researchers from all disciplines to join us at Chancellors on the 9th December.
