项目摘要

DARA Big Data is building research capacity around Big Data and the fourth industrial revolution in Southern Africa through high quality education and research. These high-value technical skills are applicable not only to scientific research but also to the space sector, as well as numerous other industrial and commercial sectors where diversification, technological upgrading and innovation are key drivers of economic growth. Moreover the key research areas of DARA Big Data are well-aligned both with the UN Global Goals and the African Union 2063 vision for advanced technologies, in order to improve welfare at the same time as targeting economic growth.DARA Big Data provides bursaries for students from the partner countries of the African VLBI Network (AVN) - Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia - to study for MSc(R) and PhD degrees at universities in South Africa and the UK. These degrees are in the three data intensive DARA Big Data focus areas of astrophysics (Astro Big Data), health data (Health Big Data) and sustainable agriculture (Agri Big Data).In addition to providing studentship bursaries, DARA Big Data also works in partnership with South African SKA project (SKA-SA), now incorporated into the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO), on the broader Big Data Africa program. Big Data Africa provides training workshops in machine learning, big data techniques and data intensive methodologies across the three DARA Big Data focus areas. These workshops and training courses take place in South Africa and other AVN countries, and are open to students from across the AVN country network who are currently in the honours year of their undergraduate degree or who are already pursuing a masters or PhD level research degree in those countries.

DARA Big Data通过高质量的教育和研究，在南部非洲围绕大数据和第四次工业革命建立研究能力。这些高价值的技术技能不仅适用于科学研究，也适用于空间部门以及许多其他工业和商业部门，在这些部门，多样化、技术升级和创新是经济增长的关键动力。此外，DARA大数据的关键研究领域与联合国全球目标和非洲联盟2063年先进技术愿景保持一致，以便在以经济增长为目标的同时改善福利。DARA大数据为来自非洲VLBI网络（AVN）伙伴国家（博茨瓦纳、加纳、肯尼亚、马达加斯加、毛里求斯、莫桑比克、纳米比亚和赞比亚）的学生提供奖学金，帮助他们在南非和英国的大学攻读硕士(R)和博士学位。这些学位属于DARA大数据的三个数据密集型重点领域：天体物理学（Astro大数据）、健康数据（健康大数据）和可持续农业（Agri大数据）。除了提供奖学金外，DARA大数据还与南非SKA项目（SKA- sa）合作，该项目现已并入南非射电天文台（SARAO），开展更广泛的大数据非洲计划。大数据非洲在DARA的三个大数据重点领域提供机器学习、大数据技术和数据密集型方法的培训讲习班。这些讲习班和培训课程在南非和其他AVN国家举行，并向来自AVN国家网络的学生开放，这些学生目前正在攻读本科学位或已经在这些国家攻读硕士或博士学位。
