Topic outline

  • Seminar on Data Ecosystems

    Data has huge potential, but unlocking the true value of data has many challenges. Global data play is dominated by a few isolated platform players that claim ownership of key data assets. It is difficult for businesses and governmental bodies to understand the characteristics and potential of data. Related regulations, such as privacy legislation GDPR and forthcoming EU Data Act, may complicate the use of data further, but also open up possibilities for those who aim to redefine the rules to enable a more fair and trust-based data ecosystems.

    The seminar is aimed at students who want to understand better the opportunities and challenges related to using and sharing data internally at businesses and within a data ecosystem. The data ecosystem topic will be approached from multiple angles, including e.g. governance, trust and privacy, business, technology, and legal aspects.

    The course will be conducted as a combination of guest lectures and a student project on selected topics. The class instructors will include Aalto University researchers and affiliates with various academic backgrounds, as well as guest lecturers who are domain experts from the industry. The already confirmed guest speakers are from Sitra, OP, Helen, S Group, Salesforce, VTT, Taival Advisory, Solita, Maki.VC, adesso, Fintraffic, 1001 Lakes and MyData Global.

    In the project, the students apply what they have learned from topics covered and propose a solution to a problem or a way to move the ball forward in this field. This may take many forms (case study, project proposal, technical recommendation, code, etc.) as long as the idea is adequately explained and/or demonstrated. In addition to final project presentation, students will create a poster that summarize the results of their project.

     

    Practicalities:

    Course is a combination of lectures and group work on given themes. 

    Course lectures are held between 24.10. - 1.12.2022 on Mondays 14:15-16:00 and Thursdays 16:15-18:00 in the Computer Science building, T4.

    The lectures will be help on-campus and physical student presence is expected. 

    Typical sessions will have two 30-35 min presentations, and 10-15 minute discussion/topic. Active student participation is expected.

    Final session is a half-day event to present and discuss group work. The exact time for the session will be defined later.
