Ekaterina Mityagina, Vice-Rector for Development Based on Data Analysis, spoke about the achievements and prospects of the largest university in the region in the study and use of Big Data
As a member of the University Consortium of Big Data Researchers, Vyatka State University rapidly gained momentum and became one of the leaders in the Russian market of Big Data researchers in the social and humanitarian sphere. This was announced by Vice-Rector for Development Based on Data Analysis, Head of the Center for Applied Data Analysis, Professor of the Department of Social Work and Youth Policy Ekaterina Mityagina.
The other day she returned from Stavropol, where she took part in the School of Applied Data Analysis as one of the key speakers at the North Caucasus Federal University. In the near future E.V. Mityagina will play this role again: this time she was invited to Astrakhan State University.
"It would seem that quite recently we ourselves were in the role of students, attending such schools - now our experience is in demand by other universities and, in general, by a wide range of industrial partners" - noted Ekaterina Vladimirovna.
Today, the VyatSU team is ready to implement its own training program at the School of Applied Data Analysis for different categories of students. In addition, the university is developing a content analytics program for students, and an educational project on Big Data for schoolchildren has been created. Students of a number of social and humanitarian areas, including social work, organization of work with youth and sociology, have already completed training and are actively involved in the implementation of projects related to Big Data.
"Vyatka State University has made a breakthrough in working with big data. Now the university will be the core of this demanded direction" - emphasized E.V. Mityagin.
Ekaterina Vladimirovna herself received an offer to head one of the committees of the University Consortium of Big Data Researchers: the upcoming work, she said, will be related to solving socially significant problems of the regions using text analysis methods.
The full range of capabilities of the largest university in the Kirov region in the field of big data research will be demonstrated during the International Spring Congress of the University Consortium of Big Data Researchers. A large-scale event aimed at expanding cooperation between universities and technology companies in the implementation of network research and the development of digital solutions in the field of data analysis will be held at the Engineering Institute of Vyatka State University on April 28-29.
