(Open) data is often available in tabular formats. Small datasets can be explored in spreadsheets. However, when data becomes large, you may think that advanced IT expertise and expensive proprietary systems are required. Wrong. Today, open data management technology enables efficient querying of millions of records on a standard laptop using basic SQL or Python. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn core concepts, practical skills, and how to further develop your knowledge.

Event-language will be German
