Computing and communication devices accompany, influence and guide our everyday life. They are embedded in large networks and produce increasing amounts of data. Novel solutions are needed to contend with and create value from these enormous volumes of data. This results in highly relevant research questions in the area of computing and information technology. NRP 75 supports this innovative foundational research.
Furthermore, Big Data will have a profound effect on our society. Appropriate regulatory measures are required, and citizens must understand the implications of Big Data. To this end, NRP 75 supports research projects in law and social sciences. Finally, NRP 75 supports projects that bring together computing and domain experts to enable new, specific big data applications in business and society with a substantial potential for value creation. In this way, NRP 75 aims to lay the foundation for responsible research and innovation in a data-driven society.
