Introduction

The world contains a large amount of data from various sources, including commercial transactions, social media, censuses, search engines, the internet, and more. Such data can help us to create a better world. Organizations and companies hire statisticians and data scientists to analyze their data and improve their businesses.

AGNA, along with Bu-Ali Sina University, and jointly with y-BIS under ISI and SDAT intend to organize the first event on the value of data to provide data holders and data analyzers with an opportunity to extract maximum value from their data. There is financial support made available by SDAT, International Statistical Institute (ISI) (which receives funding from The World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building), and ISBIS.

Organizers and the data providers provided more information about the team arrangement, competition processes, and the benefits of attending this event on a webinar on 31 December 2020.

The webinar is recorded, and recorded videos are available through the following links
