RELAX

The RELAX European Training Network aims to train a cohort of highly mobile and adaptable researchers to become experts in the design of scalable and efficient data-intensive software systems. These experts will master the specific skill of relaxing semantics or correctness conditions of the application in order to achieve stringent constraints on scalability, response times, and availability. Working across the cross-disciplinary specialisms of data science, data management, distributed computing and computing systems, the Fellows will develop knowledge of the broad issues underpinning data analytics systems. The bespoke training programme fosters intellectual enquiry and combines technical and scientific research training with courses in innovation, management and leadership. The training network addresses a critical skills gap in data analytics expertise, which needs urgently addressed to support innovation and employment in a fast-growing European data economy. The 11 partner organisations representing 7 countries will benefit first-hand through intersectoral collaboration and an Open Innovation model.
