Innovation through data: your gateway to the future

In a world where huge amounts of data from various areas of life are collected and processed every day, it is impossible to imagine life without applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. The increasing volume and complexity of the data collected not only increases the enormous potential for society, business and science, but also the demand for data scientists who are able to manage, analyze and interpret this data.
