Our faculty  is an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers and professors. The core group of courses instructors comes from DESPINA (www.despina.unito.it), the big data lab of the Department of Economics and Statistics. Moreover, there is a selected number of lectures delivered by eminent members of our international academic network and experienced managers in the data-driven economy.

We perceive faculty, students, and visiting professors as actors of a common effort to create and disseminate knowledge in this field.
