Foundations Of Health Data Science
Foundations of Health Data Science - an introduction for SUND researchers and educators. The 1-day workshop serves as an entry point into the fascinating field of Health Data Science, empowering you with the essential knowledge and conceptual understanding you need to tackle the world of Data Science and how to make use of it in the courses you teach.
Getting familiar with Data Science can feel like a confusing and overwhelming task for those without computational background. This poses a barrier especially to more technical Data Science courses since there is a dual challenge of learning about concepts of data science and how to do programming at the same time.
This workshop serves as an entry point to demystifying this fascinating field and empowering you with the essential knowledge and conceptual understanding you need in order to tackle the world of Data Science.
In short theory sessions we will introduce the key concepts of data science, clarify roles and terminology surrounding working with data and illuminate the data’s journey from collection to insight. No experience with data science or programming is required.
You will then work in groups to investigate cases related to the material and discuss what you learned.
The workshop is aimed at KU researchers (professors, postdocs) and technical & support staff. The workshop is primarily for those who know little about data science but are curious about this developing field and looking to integrate computational aspects into their own research and/or teaching. Although the workshop is not aimed at PhD students, they are welcome if interested.
Participation in this workshop is approved as activity in connection with didactic/pedagogical competence development of experienced teachers.
