Research

The availability of large quantities of data has increased interest in methods for extracting, processing, and analyzing such data, along with recognizing patterns and visualizing information. The size of the data sets, the speed with which data can be generated and processed, the variety of data types and formats along with the quality and added value of the data are providing researchers with completely new opportunities and challenges.

Methods for processing large volumes of data are increasingly making inroads into the economic and social sciences, from which WU has extracted four central focal areas to concentrate on in the coming years:

Methodology skills

Data heterogeneity

Infrastructure and services

Course portfolio and IT solutions
