EDISON: first Champions Conference

The first EDISON Champions Conference was a great success. The pioneers of data science teaching and training assembled in the New Forest as the British Summer was making its first real appearance. The Champions enjoyed two days of stimulating and productive discussion triggered by the emergent findings of the project material. The source material can be found in the library section of the website. The presentations delivered at the conference can be found below. Please credit the EDISON project if this material proves useful to your work.
