Our Data Science for Social Good Fellows have been working all summer on high impact, real world, data driven problems and we’re celebrating the final leg of this journey with our friends and supporters with two ‘Data Fest’s.
On the 28th August (4pm-7pm) ‘Data Fest’ at the Shard, London. You’ll join our Fellows from the Turing/Warwick programme as they present how their work has helped address diverse problems faced by our partners from travel inequity in the West Midlands to reviewing government procurement in Paraguay.
Viewers can look forward to keynotes from Rayid Ghani (Chief Scientist of Obama 2012) and Tanya O’Carol (Technical Director, Amnesty International), and opportunities to network with Fellows and other Data Science leaders.
