Education and Training for Big Data Specialists

Together with the partners in the BDVe project, the paluno woking group Software Systems Engineering has set up the Big Data Value Education Hub. The platform is now part of the European Commission Pledge Viewer.

Although there are many education and training opportunities in the big data area it is not easy to find the right programme of studies or a special training course. The Big Data Value Education Hub (EduHub) may help with the search. The online platform is a living repository for knowledge about European educational offerings related to big data (covering areas such as data processing, data management, data analytics, data visualization, and data protection). The EduHub currently includes over 320 European educational offerings (181 European M.Sc. programmes, 12 European PhD programmes, as well as 133 professional trainings).

The paluno working group Software Systems Engineering has played a leading role in the development of the EduHub as part of the EU-funded project BDVe.

The EduHub reflects the intention of the Big Data Value Association (BDVA) to promote the eduation of European citizens in this important key area. The European Commission has now officially recognized this by listing the EduHub in the Pledge Viewer. This is a tool of the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition of the European Commission for making, viewing and managing pledges. By making a pledge to the Coalition, organisations send a clear signal of their commitment to equip Europeans with the skills they need for life and work in the digital age.
