In order to address the growing influence of Data Science on many aspects of our lives, FTAL, the Association of Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences in Engineering, Architecture and Life Sciences, organises a scientific conference on applied research activities of their member schools in this field. The first joint research event will focus on industrial applied research outcomes in this highly topical subject, especially in view of the enhanced offer in the following joint Master programs: Since autumn 2017 the MSc Life Sciences offers the new option “Applied Computational Life Sciences“ and starting in autumn 2018 the MSc Engineering will propose the new option “Data Science”.

The research event is designed for Master students, scientists and professors as well as industrial partners.

The goal of FTAL2018 is to show UAS’s research and applied activities in Data Science, is to increase knowledge transfer within the FTAL «Research Community» and to act as a networking event between researchers, MSE / MLS students, industrial and international institutions.

The Conference will take place at the Lugano Congress Palace (Piazza Indipendenza 4, 6900 Lugano), from the 18^th of October 2018 to the 19^th of Obtober 2018.
