Upskill yourself! The SWAN Rising Smart Water Professionals (RiSWP) highly interactive May 24th Workshop, "Data Science Unicorn Breeding Program: Teaching Coding Skills to Water Professionals" will be led by Dr. Peter Prevos of Coliban Water, Australia.
For water networks to become “smart,” there is an urgent need to ensure that water professionals develop the necessary digital skills. Young professionals can play an instrumental role in owning and driving the process of digitisation in the smart water sector. By further refining their skills, including capacity development focused on data science, systems thinking, and working with multi-disciplinary teams, RiSWPers will be better positioned to play an active role in the smart water sector. **The Workshop is now full and registration is closed. |

Meet Your Facilitator
Peter is a civil engineer, social scientist and dabbles in theatrical magic. He has almost three decades of experience as a water engineer and manager, working in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. He has a PhD in business and wrote Customer Experience Management for Water Utilities, which combines the social sciences with engineering to create value for customers.
Peter is currently responsible for developing and implementing the data science strategy for a water utility in regional Australia. The objective of this strategy is to create value from data through useful, sound and aesthetic data science. His mission is to breed unicorn data scientists by motivating other water professionals to ditch their spreadsheets and learn how to write code. Peter aspires to become the Willy Wonka of the water industry by developing new ways to solve old problems.
