If you identify as neurodivergent or prefer learning at your own place, then you are eligible for this course. 

The course has been tailored to suit the learning needs of neurodivergent individuals to ensure we provide the best learning experience possible and will provide an introduction to different data science skills and programmes. Please let us know how we can support your learning and we will do our best to accommodate this.  

If you are a woman or non-binary person at college or university, a career changer, or a STEM professional with an interest in learning key Data Science skills, then this opportunity is for you. 

Attendance on this course will increase your awareness and understanding of data science by developing and enhancing your skills and abilities to allow you to apply ground-breaking data science in the real world.  

No previous knowledge or experience of data science is required in order to complete the course. Join us on this virtual live experiential learning course to demystify data! 

Places on this online course are free but spaces are limited, registrations will close at 5pm, 10 August 2022.

Incremental’s Fusion Forums have been designed to enable business leaders and technology owners to utilise the full power of the Microsoft suite of applications.

The half-day events provide opportunities for attendees to learn and share in interactive sessions, network with likeminded individuals (and Incremental and Microsoft experts) and discover new and emerging technologies which drive organisational change.

The in-person event will include sessions on:

• How Microsoft Catalyst can be utilised to enhance organisation operations
• Encouraging innovation at scale with Power Platform Centre of Excellence
• Building a resilient, sustainable supply chain

The host of the events will be Incremental’s Business Unit Director, Iain Cherry. Discussing the Fusion Forums, Iain said, “These types of events have always had a lot of interest and generated a great turnout, so I am looking forward to getting stuck in and hosting Fusion Forum 2022! If you want to learn how to digitally transform your business, make sure to join us in London or Glasgow.”

Fusion Forum speaker, Craig McGeough, also commented, “I’m thrilled that in-person events are back with a bang and can’t wait to showcase all that Incremental and Microsoft have to offer when it comes to infusing technology to drive real business change.”

Incremental’s Fusion Forum is an event not to be missed! Fusion Forum is free to attend, but spaces are limited.

Our next session will be focused around the Scottish Government and COSLA’s refreshed Digital Strategy for Scotland “A Changing Nation: How Scotland Will Thrive in a Digital World”. Published in March 2021, the strategy sets out an over-arching, shared vision of a modern, digital and collaborative government designed around its people and businesses. It also recognises the challenges facing our sector and the need for enhanced (and commonly developed) approaches to driving increased digital adoption, capability and leadership.

The government cannot tackle these challenges alone. The Digital Strategy is for all of Scotland, so effective collaboration across industry, the third sector and wider public sector bodies will be crucial to delivering on our joint ambitions. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown just what can be achieved when working together towards a common goal.

Hosted by Scotland IS, the session will be facilitated by Scottish Government officials and is an opportunity to:

• Learn more about the priority programmes of work within the Digital Strategy – including ways in which digital and data technologies are enabling us to go further and faster than more traditional methods of delivery.

• Explore opportunities to collaborate across the broader strategic themes of (1) People and place, (2) A Strong Digital Economy and (3) Digital Government Services.

• Share best practise and positive examples of how your organisation is helping to bring the ‘Principles for a Digital Nation’ to life.

• Raise awareness of the digital challenges facing your organisation.

• Explore ways in which Officials can keep you up to date with developments.

• Contribute to a discussion on the ways in which Scotland’s tech-sector can help deliver on the ambitions set out in the Digital Strategy.

If you are interested in participating in this exciting session, the please do sign up to the event, which will take place on Wednesday 14 September.
