Professional life – either in government or in a corporation – tests the ethical fiber of a person often. In both the settings, a professional is a prime instrument available with the organization to deliver. And, if a professional fails to unclutter the ethical dilemmas and make the right choices, the consequences can be far-reaching.

Susitikime buvo kalbama apie technologijų įtaką pasauliui, proveržio mąstysenos ir kūrybinio pasitikėjimo galimybes, duomenų atvėrimo svarbą.

Renaldas Gudauskas, General Director of the National Lithuanian Library and Chairman of the National Commission of UNESCO, answers to the question :
“What kind of impact do the data have on the Humanities in the future ?”
A good question given the current booming of Big Data.
