New study "Academic Offer of Advanced Digital Skills in 2020-21. International Comparison"

by Fabio Nascimbeni

The European Commission, as part of its policy to foster digital transformation and succeed in the digital decade, promotes digital skills as a key factor to improve economic competitiveness and social justice. This report provides evidence about the availability of higher education offer in Artificial intelligence, High performance computing, Cybersecurity, and Data science in the academic year 2020-2021, so as to anticipate possible gaps (or abundance) in their offer. Following a keyword-based query methodology that captures the inclusion of advanced digital skills in the programmes’ syllabus, we monitor the availability of masters’ programmes and study their characteristics, such as the scope (broad and specialised), education fields in which digital skills are taught (e.g., Information and communication technologies; Business, administration and law), and the content areas covered by the programmes. The EU’s offer of AI-related specialised master’s programmes is higher than that of the US. Even if the field of education dominating the offer of AI master’s programmes is Information and communication technologies, noticeable shares are also observed for Engineering, manufacturing and construction. In Cybersecurity, the EU is the only area presenting a positive trend during the last year, involving both broad and specialised masters. Despite this, still the EU’s related offer is lower than that of the US and that of the UK. Regarding Data science masters, the US keeps its leading position. https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC128844 <https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC128844> Fabio Nascimbeni fabio.nascimbeni(a)gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabionascimbeni/

"NASA’s TBIRD Mission Demonstrates 1.4TB Optical Downlink"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

NASA’s TBIRD Mission Demonstrates 1.4TB Optical Downlink By Rachel Jewett <https://www.satellitetoday.com/author/rachel-jewett/> | December 6, 2022 https://www.satellitetoday.com/technology/2022/12/06/nasas-tbird-mission-de… *NASA*’s TBIRD mission recently achieved a record for optical communications in space. The satellite downlinked 1.4 terabytes of data over laser communications links in a single pass that lasted about five minutes. The agency confirmed the demonstration Dec. 1 <https://twitter.com/NASALaserComm/status/1598392327734788097?s=20&t=M4qotiD…>. The TBIRD payload — TeraByte InfraRed Delivery — was built by built by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory and integrated into NASA’s Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator 3 Satellite (PTD-3), built by Terran Orbital. This is part of NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program. The TBIRD mission is testing laser communications in Low-Earth Orbit on a small satellite, which NASA believes can substantially increase data transport capabilities. NASA’s goal for the mission is to demonstrate a downlink of 200 gigabits per second. “Terran Orbital is grateful for NASA and MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s partnership in the PTD-3 mission. We look forward to completing the next record-breaking space-to-ground optical link – at 200 gigabits per second – in the near future,” commented Marc Bell, CEO of Terran Orbital.
