Throughout October, the data.europa academy hosted two new sessions, a webinar and a workshop. Together with over 800 registrants and a handful of experts, we explored insights on the topics of safeguarding and utilising open data in research. As October is also Cybersecurity Awareness Month , participants could increase their cybersecurity skills with our webinar ‘ Safeguarding Open Data: Cybersecurity Essentials and Skills for Data Providers ’, hosted on 18 October. Together with cybersecurity experts from Capgemini, participants got to understand the cybersecurity risks related to open
In this workshop, organised by the BDTI Skills Studio, participants will learn to forecast bicycle traffic in Paris using historical data and compare the predictions with real-time data. This practical use case will demonstrate the entire process, from analysing historical data to generating forecasts and visualising both forecasted and real-time data. Additionally, participants will learn how to set up an automated pipeline to continuously update and visualise real-time data, providing valuable insights for urban planning and promoting sustainable transportation. What you’ll get from this
In this workshop, developed by the BDTI Skills Studio, key theoretical concepts in data classification and predictive analytics are introduced. Participants will learn how to use historical data to classify and predict future outcomes, a fundamental skill in data science. These concepts will be illustrated through a practical use case involving the Tourism Climate Index (TCI), using tools currently offered by BDTI. The use case will involve predicting TCI classifications based on historical weather data, demonstrating the application of machine learning techniques to categorise data
