2. EDSAShowcaseThe EDSA showcase brings together a selection of the most important outcomes of the project,consistingof components that are at the coreof ourworkplan, but are also representative for theprojectinthedatasciencecommunity.

TheEDSAcurriculumcomprisesof15coredatasciencetopicsthathavebeendeliveredbytheproject.The curriculumhasbeen revised andupdated throughout thedurationof theproject. Thedifferentversions of the curriculum have been documented in D2.1 (M6), D2.2 (M18) and D2.3 (M30). TheEDSAcurriculumisavailableathttp://edsa-project.eu/resources/curriculum/.
The EDSA courses portfolio consists of a variety of data science courses, offered by renownedinstitutionsbothinsideandoutsidetheprojectconsortium.Thesecoursesareavailableas:

To promote its activities, the project has used a mixture of hosting platforms and social mediachannels,whichtogethercontributetotheonlinereputationoftheproject.Theseare:
• EDSA on Twitter: to build a community of followers interested in data sciencetraining:http://www.twitter.com/edsa_project.
• EDSAonSlideShare:topublishslidescontent:http://www.slideshare.net/edsa-project.
• EDSA on YouTube& Vimeo: to publish video content, in particularwebinar recordings andscreencasts:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPlH1fODzOJiIYUZ0_C_ilA &http://vimeo.com/edsa.
