The Erasmus Mundus Design Measures project on Joint Master in Applied Data Science aims to tackle several crucial aspects for the European Union within the domain of data science and its applications. It underscores the overarching significance of data in modern societies and the necessity for specialized programs to prepare Europe for a data-driven era that offers both challenges and opportunities in many different domains. The project’s objective is to design a high-quality two-year international joint Master’s programme of 120 ECTS by a Consortium of six Higher Education Institutions: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), University of Bologna, University College Dublin, University of Helsinki, Leiden University, and Universitè Paris 1 Pantheon- Sorbonne. The project will develop the curricula and the formal and administrative mechanisms for the Joint Master's program in Applied Data Science offering interdisciplinary studies in four specialized tracks tailored to specific fields: Health, Behavioural Sciences, Sustainability and Cultural Heritage. By conducting a large stakeholders consultation at EU level and beyond, the project proposes to reach and involve a wide community of stakeholders and to prepare a programme responding to stakeholders needs, societal and labor market challenges. By using a student-centred and challenge-based learning approach, the project seeks involving students and academics in addressing real-life problems within multidisciplinary teams enriching the educational experience and fostering collaboration with the private and public sectors. The project aims to fill an existing gap in the European educational landscape by designing a curriculum and developing a joint specialized, transnational Joint Master's in Applied Data Science with new, innovative and interdisciplinary study tracks.
