One of the specific objectives of LAMBDA (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics) project is focused its efforts on formulating and delivering proper strategies and activities for dissemination and communication that will result in the best and most effective advertising of the project at local, regional and European, and international level.

One of the goals of the LAMBDA project is outreach and engagement with different types of stakeholders including the wider public. In the very beginning, the LAMBDA Consortium defined a Stakeholder Engagement Strategy as a set of actions for the involvement of external stakeholders and alignment of joint activities with LAMBDA objectives and priorities defined in the Grant Agreement.

This deliverable summarizes the activities of the Mihajlo Pupin Institute’s activities regarding the planned activities in Task 4.3 (LAMBDA Learning and Consulting Tools at PUPIN) framework. Task 4.3 (M13-M24) has three main objectives:

The goal of Task 4.2 is to manage the short term staff exchanges and on-site expert visits of PUPIN and UOXF staff. This deliverable reports the staff exchanges organized since the beginning of the project until February 2020. These staff exchanges aim to:

This report presents a plan for sustaining LAMBDA open education and training activities. One of the major knowledge transfer events of the LAMBDA project is the Belgrade Big Data Analytics Summer School, hence the activities necessary for organizing the next editions of the Belgrade Big Data Analytics Summer School are presented. Additionally, the efforts and investments needed for sustaining this event in the short and medium term (5-7 years) are presented.

The LAMBDA project started in July 2018 with a primary objective to Strengthening the Human capital and Education, Research and Development capacities of “Mihajlo Pupin” Institute, the leading Serbian R&D institution in information and communication technologies in order to serve as a Big Data & Analytics HUB that connects and integrates scientists and professionals from the West Balkans and the entire region into the European Research Area.

The 2nd edition of LAMBDA Big Data Analytics Summer School was organized by the LAMBDA consortium partners Institute Mihajlo Pupin (PUPIN), Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (Fraunhofer/IAIS), Institute for Computer Science - University of Bonn (UBO) and Department of Computer Science - University of Oxford (UOXF) on June 16th and June 17th, 2020. Because of the COVID-19, the event took place online. Overall, more than 70 participants joined the online sessions.

One of the specific objectives of LAMBDA (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics) project is developing learning materials. In the last two years project partners developed a series of learning material which is made available at the LAMBDA portal, see https://project-lambda.org/Knowledge-repository/Lectures. 

One of the main objectives of LAMBDA (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics) project is to develop a series of Big Data Analysis training session and foster knowledge exchange in this area. This deliverable reports the project period from month 1 till month 18. In this period we have held commenced the first LAMBDA summer school which has provided lectures on cutting edge technologies following different learning modes e.g., webinars, lectures, hands-on sessions and demonstrations.
