Each summer school brings experts together from around the world to share their expertise and experiences; to provide insight into current trends and developments and to train participants in a range of specialised fields.

Further information about these summer schools can be found below.

"I came because I googled data mining and analytics events, this seemed too perfect. I'm glad I came, all relevant information and documentation was sent in advance, great organisation, and it brought together researchers, academics, and industry professionals to give a good overview of data technologies."
