It is essential that food safety and veterinary public health scientists acquire computational science skills during their training that will enable them to create, manipulate and analyse large datasets.
The creation and development of databases is not only a computer technology issue, but also requires the ability to evaluate and interpret the input data and the results. This means that we need not only data scientists but also food safety and veterinary public health scientists with a sufficient level of data literacy.
Therefore, the above interdisciplinary values will be given a prominent role in the development of the Hungarian and English language graduate courses. Currently, there is no such integrated food safety data science training in Hungary nor in the wider region, so launch of postgraduate courses in English are in progress.
