Learning Event
On Tuesday March 31st, Generation Data hosted an insightful online learning event to give you an immersion into Generation Data.
Words of welcome –Dr Pádraig Gallagher, LYIT
Host of our learning event Pádraig had organised an immersive learning week to be held in Letterkenny 30th March – 3rd April but that was to be given the current Covid19 crisis. Remoulding the event into an online format, we still benefit from Generation Data. Pádraig is a professional accountant, holds an MBA and his PhD focused on graduate employability in the SME sector. He has over 20 years’ experience in enterprise development, innovation, research and tech transfer.

The truth about data Dr. Eoghan Furey, LYIT, Ireland
Data is a powerful tool when used properly, and it lends itself to informed decision making – but “informed” is the key word. Being informed doesn’t just mean using an evidence base; it means understanding how that evidence was gathered and where it might fall short. Dr. Furey discusses some of the misconceptions around data analytics and approaches to combat these.
Dr. Eoghan Furey is a lecturer at Letterkenny Institute of Technology specialising in Cloud Computing, Machine Learning & AI and TSP – Trust, Security and Privacy https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eoghan_Furey
