ViMaCs: Virtual Master Cooperation Data Science
Project – ID: 57513461
The project aims to build a virtual learning and lab infrastructure for a digital teaching and module portfolio in the field of “Data Science“. The idea of the project is to embed three Ukrainian partner universities to a virtual master network with the FH Dortmund and its European partners.
Project Scope
- Establish new model of a “Digital Education Ecosystem (DEE)” for Ukraine
Project Goals
- Development of the consortium activities of the ViMaCs;
- Development of four cross-border Master-Level-Modules for training in the framework of Data Science;
- Joint organisation of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Schools as cross-border courses;
- Development and implementation of a digital infrastructure for joint teaching, learning and virtual mobility of students and staff;
- Exchange of students, lecturers and staff between the partners.

ViMaCs Spring School (online)
17.05.2021 – 21.05.2021
Organised by KNUCA, Kyiv, Ukraine
ViMaCs project
The Online Spring school took place via the online platform MS Teams, where teachers from all 4 partner universities taught the lectures/workshops on:
- Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics,
- Business Intelligence and Decision Making,
- Cloud Based Data Processing Systems
- Data Acquisition and Processing.
Moreover, participants applied their knowledge by solving the case study provided by Luxoft company.
For the comfortable usage and the coordination of the workshop, the Platform for the Online Spring School was created, where all participants and guests could find the schedule, additional learning materials and information of the teamwork and case study.
During the Spring School 7 lecturer from the 4 universities were holding a lecture and making the workshops on the Online Spring School on Data Science topics.
The 28 master, bachelor students and post-docs from 4 ViMaCs partner universities and additional Ukrainian University (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) participated in the event. They were distributed to 5 teams to work under the case-study. The solutions for the case-study from 5 groups were presented to the representatives of Luxoft company on the last date of the school. The company’s feedback was very high. There might be also future cooperation between Luxoft and some of the teams, in order to continue the development of the case in real life.
