The Winter School in Data Literacy is a module of Certificate in Data Literacy, which aims to provide participants with the skills necessary to transform data into knowledge.

Participants of the Winter School in Data Literacy will be put into groups of 3 to 4 persons made up of participants from various ENHANCE universities.

Participants will be given an open project challenge in Data Literacy scope that will be reviewed by academic teachers from Warsaw University of Technology, Technical University of Berlin and Valencia Polytechnic University.

Winter School is FREE OF CHARGE.
The Blended Intensive Programme (Erasmus+) will
support students' participation.

PREREQUISITES

  • Completed at least the first year of bachelor studies
  • Basic Mathematics such as: function, matrices, basic graph theory e.g. definition of tress
  • Statistics and Probability

Warsaw is the capital of Poland and its biggest city. The city was a witness of wars and the Warsaw Rising during the II World War (in 1944), during which it was almost completely destroyed. Rebuilt after the war, it has kept its historical atmosphere in the Old Town (which is included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO). Nowadays, Warsaw is Poland's business center with headquarters of many international companies.

The city is divided into 18 districts. WUT Main Campus is located in the most central district called "Śródmieście".
