Businesses, even small and medium-sized ones, often handle huge amounts of data. Ulm University and Ulm University of Applied Sciences are supporting regional companies in unearthing hidden 'data treasures' and harnessing the information they provide intelligently. The multidisciplinary team of researchers from both universities, together with other partners, have thus founded the Transfer Centre for Digitisation, Analytics and Data Science Ulm (DASU).
On 9 and 10 November 2021, the University of Essex will hold the YERUN Staff Days, an event that will be dedicated to identifying a common approach to foster research collaborations across the YERUN network. The event will be an occasion for representatives of the 19 Research Support Offices at YERUN institutions to meet each other, share expertise and good practice with the aim to develop a common strategy that increases the research collaboration opportunities across the network and eventually leads to increased research income.
