Seven in ten organisations across Europe report difficulties in recruiting professionals with data and artificial intelligence expertise. Meanwhile, research institutions and data-driven organisations increasingly need specialists who can manage data responsibly throughout its entire lifecycle.
The Virtual Open Day of the Master in Data Management and Curation (MDMC) offers an introduction to the knowledge and professional skills required in this rapidly evolving field. Now in its third edition, the advanced training programme is jointly promoted by Area Science Park and SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies.
The webinar provides an overview of the course structure, learning activities and opportunities available to participants. It also explores career prospects connected with emerging roles in data management and Open Science—profiles that are increasingly sought after by research institutions, scientific infrastructures, innovative companies and other data-intensive organisations.
