Abstract
Big-data management through high-performance computing is nowadays considered as the richness of the new knowledge economy, providing unprecedented opportunities in several R&I; and applicative domains, from climate change to health, from mobility to cultural heritage, from digital change in production systems to new materials and financial analysis. In Italy, 70% of the national computing and storage capacity is set in the Emilia-Romagna Region, making it an authentic Data Valley. While supercomputing infrastructures are a pre-requisite for European competitiveness, data-driven R&I; needs qualified experts in datascience and big-data application in relevant societal/industrial domains. In this context, the University of Bologna in partnership with the other 5 universities located in the region, with the support of the Regional Authority and involving the relevant stakeholders, is proposing FutureData4EU, to train the data-science experts of tomorrow through an interdisciplinary, international and cross-sectoral approach. FutureData4EU builds on existing PhD courses will offer a pioneering combination of training in research and transversal skills in the multi- and trans-disciplinary field of Big-Data, through the enabling technologies and the Thematic Areas representing the Horizon Europe Clusters (1. Health; 2. Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society; 3. Civil Security for Society; 4. Digital, Industry and Space; 5. Climate, Energy and Mobility; 6. Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment).
