There is increasing international interest and engagement in the concept of ‘data science for social good’, with volunteers and organisations working on issues such as human rights, migration, social justice and so on. Having even more access to big data sources such as mobile phone data, satellite images and social media data brings many opportunities for new insights into these important problems, but there is a corresponding responsibility for appropriate analysis and interpretation of these data.
This workshop promotes the merging of data science and social good. We will share success stories, discuss challenges and potential solutions, extend networks, and explore directions for new research.
