Current developments in ICT and (big) data science potentially provide innovative and more effective ways to do this. However there are numerous barriers and pitfalls, sometimes unknown to ICT professionals that cause initiatives to be less successful than possible. The presentation provides an overview of the current state-of-play regarding the position of Big Data in agro-environmental research, experiences from several projects and a (non-exhaustive) summary of do\u2019s and don\u2019ts and challenges for successfully applying Big Data technologies in this domain.<\/p>\n<p>REGISTRATION<\/p>\n<p>The session is open to anyone but places are limited.
