On this level of the certificate program, you can put the knowledge and skills into practice. In interdisciplinary projects, students from different disciplinary backgrounds will work together on a real-life problem and develop data workflows. You will be supported by supervisors from different disciplinary backgrounds. The problem, approach and the results will be presented to the other participants and discussed.

From March 5th to 7th, we are hosting the first Data Literacy Datathon in Jena. If you're interested in working on real challenges from the University, the University and State Library (ThULB), or the city of Jena while enhancing your own data skills, then this event is perfect for you.
The individual challenges offer a variety of tasks, including not only "classic" data analysis but also the design of data collection methods or the development of creative data visualizations.
Whether you already have a lot of experience in data or are just curious and eager to solve real-world problems, students from all disciplines, regardless of previous knowledge, are welcome to participate.

What is a Datathon?

Teams will have access to facilities and mentors from 10 am to 6 pm who can assist with questions and issues. On the final day, each team will present their results, which will be discussed with the challenge providers.
Depending on your interests and prior experience, you can participate in accompanying workshops that provide an introduction to useful methods and tools for tackling the challenges.
Who can participate?
Whether you're a beginner or a pro, students from all fields and semesters are invited. No specific prerequisites are required.
