ERA Chair: Collective Learning Data Lab
Our Budapest office is fully funded by the European Union, thanks to the first successful ERA Chair grant application in Hungary.
The five year long project started in January 2023.
Our main objective
Data fuels the digital economy. This demands training new generations of experts on how data is collected, stored, processed, and analyzed. Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) is working to become a leading business and economics university in Central and Eastern Europe by combining data science skills with expert knowledge in business and economics.
The support of the ERA Chair Program will reinforce institutional reforms at CUB designed to transform it into a hub of research and teaching excellence in applied data science, expanding the international attractiveness of CUB through cutting-edge training programs and innovative industry collaborations.
