Our certification is mapped to the Edison Framework (EDSF).
A Europe-wide project to establish the necessary skills and define Data Science as a professional practice across the continent.
The Edison Consortium includes industry and academic organisations from across Europe. The core consortium includes members from the University of Southampton, the University of Stavanger, the University of Amsterdam, the EGI Foundation, the Research Institute for Telecommunication and Cooperation and Inmark Europa.
The EDISON Data Science Framework is a collection of documents that define the Data Science profession. Freely available, these documents have been developed to guide educators and trainers, employers and managers, and Data Scientists themselves. This collection of documents collectively breakdown the complexity of the skills and competences need to define Data Science as a professional practice.
