Big Data Hack in January 2019

Tartu geographers are co-organizing the Big Data Hack „Exploring urban connectivity through new data sources“ in January 2019. The main organizer of the event is the University of Turku, Finland.

Big Data Hack will investigate the potentials of big data in promoting international and interregional collaboration between European cities. During the event, interdisciplinary teams will explore various ways in which cities and diverse social and economic agents are interconnected across national and regional boundaries.
