During our three-day Study Tour within Sweden, we will visit professionals from academia and industry to learn about the latest developments in the field of data science.
Through our visits, will we investigate how the field is evolving in Sweden, and reflect upon major opportunities and challenges within data science research and implementation in real-world applications. In addition, we will participate in cultural activities (e.g. city tours, outdoor activities, visits to museums) to learn about Swedish history, culture, and nature.
Tour Objectives
- Obtain an understanding of the dynamic interplay between research, development, industry, and everyday applications of data analytics through conversations with data science experts working in Sweden
