DataLabs

Data Science can be an integrative force in academic research. Focussing on common data and its characteristics automatically upstages traditional disciplines, thus, fosters interdisciplinarity.

To fully take advantage of such effects, BiCDaS developed a new research format: The DataLabs.

Those are an agile format of (internal) research cooperation. Furthermore, these DataLabs shall be marked by topic centricity and a distinct need orientation. Wherever research interests meet these criteria, a DataLab can be created within a short period of time centred along either i.) A specific IT infrastructure or tool, ii.) A specific, versatile data set, or iii.) A set of methods and/or models.
