Mission

The mission of the CINI Data Lab on Science is to understand and better manage the data-centered revolution, offering an organization that manages the emerging challenges both from a scientific and application point of view.

The CINI Lab on Data Science aims to be the Italian collector of knowledge and technologies in the fields of Big Data and Data Science, which are of strategic importance in decisional processes within public and private institutions such as companies and government agencies, as well as for the analysis of any large-scale (e.g., social, biological, medical, socio-technical) system and behavior and for the solution of complex scientific problems fueled/driven by data (genomic data, DNA, image analysis). The lab aims to support the country in a transition towards a modern future, which is a necessary condition for the success of the country.
