Partners plan to work together on standard-setting of a new profession – Data Analyst.
LLU mathematicians plans to develop two new courses - statistical modeling engineers and Applied multivariate techniques and these courses will be offered to both LLU local as well as foreign students. International inter-university courses will be both in Latvian and English, as well as in Russian - e-learning, as for Belarusian students these courses will be offered as optional.
By continuing the cooperation, partner universities will develop inter-university courses whose topics will include three different directions - work with the transformation of unstructured data into structure information, data analysis software as well as databases and work with different data.
