The Institute for Big Data Analytics is turning five. Headquartered at Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Computer Science, the Institute for Big Data Analytics has become an international hub of excellence in big data research – supporting local industry to use big data to make an impact and training the next generation of researchers and practitioners to advance this area of innovation.

As the Institute for Big Data Analytics reaches this milestone, we will acknowledge the progress made in this area for Dalhousie and the region, look back on the research advances made, and look ahead to the next five years. This is an opportunity to not only focus on the direction the Institute for Big Data Analytics will take to align with the university’s and regions’ strategic priorities, but also to discuss the future of big data and the opportunities and challenges we face as a society. 

Join us for speeches, student research poster presentations, and refreshments.
