The MDMC programme takes place within a unique ecosystem of research and innovation, shaped by the joint contribution of SISSA and Area Science Park. Students have access to advanced infrastructures, data services, and real-world environments where data management and curation are applied in practice.
This setting allows participants to experience how data is handled across the full lifecycle, from research to applied innovation.
The programme is embedded in the dynamic research environment of Trieste and the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, which hosts a high concentration of international scientific institutions.
Students are introduced to the tools, platforms, and infrastructures used for managing and curating data in research and innovation contexts.
A distinctive feature of the programme is the possibility to access ORFEO, the advanced AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure of Area Science Park.
Students gain experience in applied contexts through laboratories, research environments, and internship placements.
The programme familiarises students with the tools, standards, and workflows used by data professionals.
