Big data, whether from social media, market and risk analyses in business and industry, experiments in physics and chemistry, language analyses, medical imaging methods, bioinformatics or climate modelling, determines day-to-day business in broad areas of the natural sciences, life sciences and humanities, in business, industry and logistics. Well-trained and highly qualified young academic people in the professional field of ‘Data Scientist’ are needed in many areas.
