During the period May 16 – May 20, 2022 Student’s Training C3 was held. The event was hosted by the University of Nis (UNi) in Serbia.

The third training activity involved the organization of the Big Data course offered to computer science students in UNi.  The agenda of the event can be found through the link https://docs.google.com/document/d/174j69vz0DD5EIptav-d7rT0JLHMji-Ag/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101046534126028994548&rtpof=true&sd=true

University of Bielsko-Biala (UBB), University of Library Studies and Information Technologies (ULSIT), UNi have sent four students each in the ICT field. The instructors of the course were trainers from all universities. The training was conducted according to the already established methodologies and teaching materials. The trainers were representatives of UNi teachers. Teachers from ULSIT and

UBB attended the classes and assisted in their conduct.

The format was tailored to the academic classes at the university.

Craft topics was related to the goals and objectives of the project:

- Database based on an advanced reference in the case of BigData (covering 01 - A1.1. Data collection and A1.2. Analysis)

- How to analyze requirements with a Big Data and how to find the best solution to the problem (covering 02 and 03)

- How to best prepare Big Data professionals in the Data Lake ecosystem (O3 and O4 outputs)

- How to help managers find the best way using their Big Data resources

Students from UBB, ULSIT, and UNi joined the activity. Certification of attendance was provided to all the participants.

At the joint introductory session the meeting has started from the introduction of the student’s teams from the project participants.
