"Creating positive societal impact: the Erasmian way" is central in the strategy of the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR).The
Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics (ECDA) is the central hub around data, digitisation, and artificial intelligence at Erasmus University Rotterdam. The main goal of this expert centre is to prepare society for a data-driven future, hands-on and human-centred, towards a sustainable world. AI and algorithms are increasingly used in various areas in our daily lives and therefor have a huge potential to create social impact.
ECDA brings together academic experts, organisation leaders, public and private partners, and students, to engage in world-class education and research, share meaningful know-how, data analytics, sharing and visualisation tools, and engage in a relevant network of societal and business partners. By bringing together diverse stakeholders in one centre and having a physical space to meet ("the collaboratory"), further collaboration, experimentation and innovation are stimulated. Through its programmes and events ECDA wants to increase data savviness and readiness in public, business and academic domains, and in society as a whole.
ECDA:
- Facilitates hands-on education and training to students and executives.
- Organises exclusive events, challenges, seminars, and summits
- Offers a very energetic and diverse learning community that includes stakeholders from public and private organisations, academia and students
- Facilitates multi-disciplinary research and innovation based on over 25 expert practices (all part of ECDA) on data analytics, digitalisation and AI
- Offers infrastructure for data, analytics, and AI in collaboration with technology partners
- Offers one physical hub "the collaboratory" where the community can come together.
