Obiettivi
The programme, which will last for five months, will be taught in English. The programme awards 9 ECTS University educational credits (CFU) and has as its learning outcome The participants should reach a basic
understanding of what a data science project is. In particular, they should develop the ability to cooperate in groups for the production of simple analyses, and to understand the outcomes of more complicated ones. They should also be able to focus on the path from problems to data analytic solutions and to communicate the results of data analysis. The LLC will introduce professionals to fundamentals of data science in a non-technical way, providing them with the skills to understand the importance of data-driven decision making and interact with technical data science teams in their organizations.
