Data Science Initiative: Data Matters 2017

Update, May 1: Pcards should not be used to pay for registration for this event. The unit funding your registration will need to process an IDT for these payments. Ask your department's staff for assistance. 

The Data Science Initiative is excited to announce registration is open for Data Matters 2017! Head over to http://datamatters.org/ for all course descriptions, instructor bios, registration, and logistic information.

Building on the success of last year's Data Matters event, NC State has again partnered with UNC Chapel Hill's the Odum Institute and Renci, and the National Consortium for Data Science to offer “Data Matters: Data Science Short Course Series” in Hunt Library from August 7-11, 2017.  Data Matters is a week-long series of one and two-day courses aimed at professionals in business, research, and government. If you are struggling to stay afloat in the data deluge, grappling with large, complex data, or simply want to sharpen your data science skills, Data Matters is for you!
