We are pleased to announce that registration has opened for:

Big Data Summer: A summer school of the BiGMax Network
at Platja d’Aro, Spain, September 9 - 13, 2019

The school is predominantly targeted towards PhD students and young postdocs. It will address important background and recent advances in data-driven materials science. The topics will cover a wide spectrum to demonstrate the challenges and potential that research data offer. This will include the FAIR principles of scientific data, also hardware aspects; introduction and frontiers of artificial intelligence; interpretability and causality in machine learning; various data-mining tools and mathematical concepts behind; data diagnostics; pattern discovery; real-time data processing of emerging experimental setups; metadata in computational and experimental materials science; and more.

The school is organized by Gerhard Dehm (MPI for Iron Research), Claudia Draxl (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Matthias Scheffler (Fritz Haber Institute), and Jilles Vreeken (MPI for Informatics, Saarbrücken University) and will take place September 9-13, 2019 at the Hotel Cap Roig overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

See the web page for details: https://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/meetings//BiGmax-Summer-2019/

The application and poster-abstract submission interfaces are now open until March 15, 2019. For space reasons, the number of participants will be limited. Acceptance decisions will be made soon after the deadline.

We are looking forward to seeing you or your co-workers in Spain!
