The call for applications is open. Please click on 'Apply here' (on the left) to submit your application.
An ICTP Meeting
The advanced workshops are a week-long hands-on activity that exposes participants to advanced techniques/approaches in specialized areas. Participants are expected to have a suitable background or have participated in a prior Summer School part of of this activity.
Four applied/thematic workshops on Research Data Science will run in parallel:
Workshop 1: Big-Data Analytics
Workshop 4: Ocean Science Data
Call for Contributed Abstracts: All applicants are requested to submit an abstract for a poster presentation. Abstract templates are available below for download.
Individuals seeking an introduction to Research Data Science can apply to The CODATA-RDA School that runs immediately before the workshops.
Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Four applied/thematic workshops on Research Data Science will run in parallel:
Workshop 1: Big-Data Analytics
- Analysis of Large Scale Real-Time and Streaming Data
- Real time event processing, low latency query and visualization
- Hands-on sessions on Data ingesting and tools for capturing real time events/ streams, processing, low latency query and visualization
- Data analysis tasks (from laptops to HPC platforms)
- Deploying and using applications (jupyter notebooks) on laptops and HPC clusters
- A look at large scale data analysis on Cloud Computing Platforms
- Foundations of Urban Data Science and Geospatial Analytics (data integration, ethics and FAIR data principles).
- Urban Data Creation, Integration, and Analysis Techniques (using tools like QGIS, Google Earth Engine, on spatial data modelling, urban land use change detection, and visual analytics).
- Health, Mobility, and Sustainability (mapping and tracing disease, mobility patterns).
- Predictive Modeling and Decision Support for Smart Cities (machine learning models to forecast urban dynamics e.g population growth, infrastructure, climate change and health risk).
- FAIR ocean data stewardship through enhanced discoverability of metadata, sharing of best practices, co-developing standards, and dataset documentation.
- Ocean observation to data services using real workflows from acquisition to dissemination via platforms like ODIS and GLOSS.
- Applied ocean data analytics with open-source platforms to facilitate modelling of coastal dynamics & processes for data-driven decision making
- Marine biodiversity data practices using OBIS for species distribution mapping, data submission, and regional ecosystem assessments.
