Data Science 4 Sustainable Development: Workshop

We are a team of data science practitioners based at the School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh. Our goal is to promote data science awareness and best practices at the University, and support academics and researchers in applying cutting edge data science tools in their research.

Join us for a full day workshop on the applications of data science and machine learning in the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals

The Bayes Centre, The University of Edinburgh

The Data Science Unit at the School of Informatics invites researchers from across the University for an interdisciplinary workshop addressing the theme of Sustainable Development. 

The workshop aims to bring together researchers and students from a range of disciplines and will focus on the application and applicability of Data Science tools and practices in the pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs are 17 interrelated objectives formulated by the United Nations in 2015 to shape a sustainable future for the planet and the people. Our hope is to facilitate fruitful discussions among the academic community and aid in further development of cross-disciplinary research advancing this fundamentally important agenda by sharing data, methods and knowledge. 

The workshop will be structured in two blocks, with the morning dedicated to lightning talks from researchers across the University already working on SDG-aligned projects, and afternoon reserved for interactive breakout sessions to discuss opportunities and collaborations. We also encourage students and early career researchers to submit ongoing research or research ideas for a lunchtime poster session. Detailed agenda will be announced closer to the date, as we are currently compiling the list of speakers; should you wish to present, indicate so in the sign-up form. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

This workshop is part of a broader agenda of events, planned around the central theme of Data Science in the service of the University’s strategy. The workshop series also aims to fulfil our commitment to raise Data Science awareness and foster relevant collaborations addressing pressing societal challenges.
