We are excited to announce a new community for Early and Mid-Career Researchers in all disciplines, hosted by Melbourne Centre for Data Science and Melbourne Data Analytics Platform.
This new community is a place and time to discuss all matters related to data science - quantitative or qualitative, practical or theoretical, or new and in need of debate.
To kick off, we are holding a curated series of sessions: DATA BITES.
These initial, regular sessions will be held around topics including data linkage and governance, data cleaning, containerisation, and analysis.
Overall, this is a place to share knowledge, meet like-minded people and interrogate the many dynamic ways data science engages with our everyday.
We hope to build a community of EMCRs across the university who see this as an opportunity to learn from one another. The face of research is changing – we are not operating in silos. We see DATA BITES as one way of supporting interdisciplinary research.
We will start with fundamental conversations – to help fill knowledge gaps or offer creative ways to expand our thinking when working with data.
