Speed Networking Events for SIUE Researchers: Big Data, Geospatial Data, and Data Analysis
Date: Friday, November 7, 9:00-10:30, 2014 MUC, International Room
The date for this event has passed, see the Speed Networking Home Page for other events.
Practice your 3-minute “elevator speech” as you participate in a fast-paced, fun event meant to expose you to the research on campus and inspire you to establish new, productive relationships. Researchers will share their topics in an accelerated fashion with a group of researchers sharing similar interests.
Interested attendees must R.S.V.P. to one of the following events. Seats are limited. Some preparation required—an inquiring mind and willingness to talk to others are a must!
Research in Big Data, Geospatial Data, and Data Analysis
Today’s computerized and digital technologies have enabled the collection of massive amounts of data and materials. Whether or not this data is available to scholars, technical practitioners, policy makers, and other social agents depends on our ability to access, interpret and make useful these large data sets. Workforce projections indicate an increasing demand for future professionals who can work with big data. Issues related to this topic may range from statistical and computation methods, to data collection, to policy and ethical practice. This speed networking session invites scholars interested in the interdisciplinary challenges posed by dealing with huge databases and material collections.
