Recognizing the growing importance of Big Data and the need to train specialists and strengthen skills in these areas, Altran in partnership with the Department of Informatics of FCT NOVA  and NOVA LINCS have launched in 2016 the "Big Data Academy".

In the second edition of "Big Data Academy", 14 new graduate engineers have received advanced training during a five-week intensive program.

This program has been coordinated by João Moura Pires, NOVA LINCS researcher from the Knowledge-Based Systems Group, in collaboration with experts from Altran, NOVA LINCS researchers from Multimodal Systems Group (João Magalhães), Computer Systems Group (Nuno Preguiça and Sérgio Duarte) and Knowledge-Based Systems Group (José Alferes, Carlos Damásio, and Ludwig Krippahl).
