Applications with Big Data
15 research projects produced concrete big data applications in collaborations bringing together computing and domain experts.
The results showcase the concrete impact that big data innovations can have in domains such as renewable energy planning, patient monitoring in hospitals, evidence-based policy making, and science itself. The projects underline the importance of interdisciplinary teams capable of working across disciplines and who can navigate the relevant ethical, legal and operational contexts.
