About the philosophy of the DATA MINING CUP:

The DATA MINING CUP is a unique combination of IT students contest and specialist conference. Objective of the Data Mining is to reveal "treasures" so far undiscovered, i.e. hidden relations, patterns and trends in electronic customer and sales databases to use them for a substantially improved marketing and more efficient sales activities. To be able to solve this task specification now and in the future, not only a good Data Mining analysis tool, but also the appropriate know-how is required!

To specifically cause university graduates to become interested in the topic of Data Mining and Analytical CRM and to get this knowledge, the DATA MINING CUP contest was initiated in 2000. Since that time, this contest takes place every year where well-known partners and sponsors take part. The highlight of the DATA MINING CUP are the DATA MINING CUP User Event Days. They not only form an optimal platform for students, but also for Data-Mining-interested people from the economy to inform themselves in the field of Data Mining and Analytical CRM during this three-day specialist conference.
