BIG DATA

We have created the Institute as a catalyst and a container in which a number of Dalhousie researchers and internationally renowned experts in all of the above areas can work together on Big Data... We have three main goals for the Institute in the years to come. Our first goal is to build it into an international hub of excellence in big data research - a place to which scientists will come to work on interesting problems, but also in search of interesting, real-life applications. Our second goal is to make the Institute very relevant to local industries in Nova Scotia, and in Canada. To achieve this goal, we may want to focus - for example - on becoming a world leader in the analytics of marine data and all aspects relating to marine biology, fisheries and shipping. Our third goal is to develop a focused and advanced training that covers all aspects of big data, preparing our next generation of researchers and practitioners for this big field of study.
