Workshop: Data Science for Sustainable Development (DS4SD) 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 featuring interactive breakout sessions to discuss opportunities and collaborations; see the detailed agenda below.
