Manga.My.Data – Research data and data challenges

Whether you’re a Big Data enthusiast or you’ve never thought about producing data, come and take advantage of this day to find out about your colleagues’ research, discuss your own, and contribute to the debate on the data as common good. 

How can we make data more visible while adopting the necessary safeguards? How can we share it more effectively? Join us for a moment dedicated to encounters, creativity and collective intelligence around a challenge of and for our faculty: research datasets!

An artist will illustrate the day’s events and record the results of the discussions in a mural (Manga)!

The Day is intended as a first step in thinking about how to get the most out of our research data. It will continue with mini-workshops, ad hoc training courses and a pilot project for data cataloguing at UNIL!

Registration is closed!
