Written by EDISS – Bridging Data Science and Software Engineering
EDISS is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) programme jointly delivered by Åbo Akademi University, University of the Balearic Islands, University of L’Aquila and Mälardalen University.
EDISS brings together software engineering educators working in data collection, data-driven assessment, and decision-making for both design- and runtime and software engineers, architects and data scientists working on data pipelines, data architectures, DataOps and in experimentation systems.
Such synergy leads to sharing knowledge and expertise, and thus creates new ideas and impactful solutions.
EDISS will educate experts who can masterfully integrate data science and ML solutions into software and system engineering processes.
