Training

I’ve been chairing summer schools on three continents for more than a decade and explored the opportunities created by online and web technologies to make computing education accessible all over the world. Between 2012 and 2014 I led EUCLID, a European effort to develop a curriculum for professional training on the fundamentals of linked data, which is the technology underlying knowledge graphs. You can find the textbook on iTunes and the related online modules on vimeo.

Until 2017 I was also the technical lead of the European Data Science Academy, which analysed supply and demand of data science skills. At Southampton I was the Director of the Southampton Data Science Academy, which offers professional training in digital transformation technologies such as AI and data science. Over the years I led and contributed to many innovation programmes, like ODINE, Data Market Services, MediaFutures, Impetus, which support entrepreneurs, artists, citizen initiatives upskill in data and tech.
