The Big Data Europe project and the Agricultural Information Management
Standards (AIMS) Community are pleased to announce a new webinar entitled
“Big Data challenges and solutions in agricultural and environmental
research". The session will take place on the 17th of December 2015 – 11:00
CET and will be presented by Rob Lokers, project manager of ICT projects and
research infrastructures at Alterra, Wageningen UR.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

This webinar will provide an overview of the role of Big Data in
agro-environmental research.

Agricultural and environmental researchers traditionally work with large data
sets and have through time developed their ways to handle scenarios involving
massive data. Current developments in ICT and (big) data science potentially
provide innovative and more effective ways to do this. However there are
numerous barriers and pitfalls, sometimes unknown to ICT professionals that
cause initiatives to be less successful than possible. The presentation provides
an overview of the current state-of-play regarding the position of Big Data in
agro-environmental research, experiences from several projects and a
(non-exhaustive) summary of do’s and don’ts and challenges for successfully
applying Big Data technologies in this domain.

REGISTRATION

The session is open to anyone but places are limited. If you are interested to
attend the webinar, send an e-mail to AIMS@fao.org, containing the following
information: your name, affiliation, email and country.
Once registered, you will receive the link to the webinar.
