Data scientist profession
Data Scientist is a complex profession, where several competences from multiple disciplines have to be combined to identify a profile of professional competences that are required more and more in several employment contexts and stakeholder domains.
The employment market segments for data scientists range from pure e-Science driven by research communities, to applications of Data Science Professionals in Public Institutions like e.g. Memory Institutions as well as to any industry sectors and corresponding labour market segments, from pharmaceutical, to manufacturing, aerospace, energy, etc.
EDISON will put in place foundation mechanisms that, in the long term, will speed-up the increase in the number of competent and qualified Data Scientists in Europe. Whilst EDISON cannot guarantee a specific increase in the number of Data Scientists, the project success can be measured by the delivery of products and services that will lead to the required increase in the near future. For this reason the project objectives are determined by specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-limited products and services that will establish the conditions for this increase in Data Scientists to occur.
