Organised by the IFC at the BIS with the active support of the Bank of Italy, the European Central Bank and the South African Reserve Bank, this workshop will bring together central banks, international organisations, national statistical offices and other interested stakeholders to share knowledge on emerging trends in data science, data engineering and information technologies with a broad audience of practitioners and technicians. We will look in depth at the state of adoption of data analytics and business intelligence techniques along with data transformation and big data ecosystems in participants’ organisations. This event is intended to foster exchange, collaboration and understanding on the related interdisciplinary practices, use cases, and technologies and will also cover important topics such as data governance and data protection. This two-day workshop will focus on two main topics:

• Sharing of experience on tools, technologies, platforms;
• Illustration of use cases developed in participants’ organisations.
