It is irresponsible to address such an important topic, capable of transforming the way we live from a single point of view. Within the project students are familiarized with implications, the effects of big data technologies with EU legal frameworks, moral and ethical norms, available support and the impact these technologies have on people, business and the environment. Furthermore,  the participants are shown the latest technological solutions.
