Data Oriented Thinking ESSEC-CentraleSupélec Details
The objective of DOT ESSEC-CentraleSupélec (DOT for ‘Data Oriented Thinking') is to allow students from all backgrounds at ESSEC and Centrale-Supélec to gain a thorough understanding of the domain of data and its different applications. As our world revolves increasingly on data collection, mining, predictions and interpretations, it is essential for leaders of tomorrow to fully grasp data-oriented thinking. Indeed, outside the context of specific teachings such as the DSBA programme, we have seen that this theme is often viewed as a distant subject and reserved for certain fields of study.We therefore want to democratize the "hard" and "soft" skills that define this discipline to any interested student. This association wants to focus on this mix of know-how in order to apply it to problems that companies, institutions or non-governmental organisations may encounter.Students will learn from diverse sources of information: student-led workshops, masterclasses organised by companies, conferences from institutions and much more. Through DOT, we wish to provide not only the basics to advanced theoretical knowledge on data science and analytics but also show the numerous practical usage of their realm (business, environmental, societal, health...). We also wish to formulate the forthcoming problematics of a data-driven world (biases, fake news, energy consumption, health crisis impact...). Our long-term plan is to hold a yearly Summit at ESSEC, open to data- enthusiast students from around the world.
