The importance of Big Data is expected to getting bigger and bigger,, but limited experts are always the concern. The MOU is expected to help resolve this problem.

SKKU professors will teach theoretical courses related to Big Data techniques while researchers at Samsung SDS will be appointed as adjunct professors in charge of practical training and case studies.
