Katharina Schüller

In the first EMOS webinar, Katharina Schüller presented a general framework of Data Literacy and discussed its concept, applications and the associated five principles. Participants could develop an understanding of what the Data Value Cycle and Data Literacy are, and why Data Literacy is important.
