Multidisciplinary perspectives on Big data and AI

About the field trip

The field trip goes to Tromsø, and will focus on the theme "Big Data and AI Applications in Research". The aim is to equip Doctoral researchers with a broad understanding of big data and artificial intelligence applications in their field of study. It covers data extraction and analytics, and predictive analysis, emphasizing the use of big data sets pertinent to the researchers' own research fields. The whole field trip is on 1,5 ECTS and takes place for a week between 17 and 21 March, with Monday and Friday as travel days.

Please note that you will need approval from your home institution to receive credit. We can provide certificates of completion.

Financing

As a Doctoral researcher at an Arctic Six university, the local Arctic Six administration will help finance the field trip. Please contact Anngelica Kristoferqvist if you are interested in joining, and she will help coordinate with your university. As a Doctoral researcher outside the Arctic Six universities, you will have to finance the trip on your own.
