Project description
Filling skills gap in the field of data-intensive software systems
Many industries, from finance and e-commerce to healthcare, rely on data-intensive software systems that deal with large amounts of data, which need efficient processing and management. In this context, the EU-funded RELAX project will address the shortage of experts in the field of data-intensive software systems. It will establish a European doctoral network to train the next generation of experts in the field. The project will focus on the design of scalable and efficient systems capable of navigating the complexities of data analytics. Bringing together 14 partner organisations from eight countries, the project will bridge the critical skills gap in data analytics and support innovation and employment in the European data economy.
Objective
The RELAX European Doctoral Network aims to train a cohort of highly mobile and adaptable researchers to become experts in the design of scalable and efficient data-intensive software systems. These experts will master the specific skill of navigating the semantics or correctness conditions of applications, with the goal of enhancing scalability, response times, and availability. Working across the disciplinary specialisms of data science, data management, distributed computing and computing systems, the Fellows will develop knowledge of the broad issues underpinning data analytics systems. The bespoke training programme fosters intellectual enquiry and combines technical and scientific research training with courses in innovation, management and leadership. The training network addresses a critical skills gap in data analytics expertise, which needs urgently addressed to support innovation and employment in a fast-growing European data economy. The 14 partner organisations representing 8 countries will benefit first-hand through intersectoral collaboration and an Open Innovation model.
