<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><font size="3">This is the third year that the Big Data and Analytics Summer School is running and following the successful events in previous years, the programme covers
a range of topics from the curation and
management of big data, advanced techniques and methods including artificial intelligence and statistical methods, and applications of big data in fields ranging from business and finance to bioinformatics. Courses are offered for participants with a science,
social science or humanities background at different levels (Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced). Courses range from theoretical to lab-based or a mixture of theory and lab-based instruction and practice. Thirty five courses will be delivered by academic
and industry experts in parallel sessions over the two week period. Participants can attend either one week or both and can choose the courses of most interest to them to create their own programme of study. For more detailed information on the range and
content of courses visit:<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
