Paris,France
Cost: free

As part of the next meeting of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) Interest Group
on Agricultural Data (IGAD) that will take place between September 21st-22nd in
Paris, the BigDataEurope (http://www.big-data-europe.eu) action is organising a
session dedicated to big data in agriculture, forestry and food. The IGAD
meeting will take place at the head office of the Institut National de la
Recherche Agronomique (INRA), as a co-located event of the Research Data
Alliance (RDA) 6th Plenary. The big data session of the IGAD meeting is expected
to investigate the characteristics of data sources & repositories that our
community has, in order to identify cases that offer a high degree of variety,
velocity and volume – and therefore good candidates for the application of big
data technologies. In addition, an introduction to such technologies is going to
be given and a discussion on their relevance and applicability for the wider
range of topics related to food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry.

As a recognised stakeholder in the food and agriculture sector, we believe that
you would be interested to join this session, share experiences and ideas on how
big data applies for our sector, report on your relevant projects and
activities, and ultimately find out ways in which the BigDataEurope action can
support you.

Event Registration: send an e-mail expressing your interest to attend to the
IGAD meeting organiser Imma Subirats (FAO of the UN, Imma.Subirats@fao.org),
cc-ing Nikos (nikosm@agroknow.gr).
