“Data for Change” is a pioneering competition in Portugal, aimed at identifying organizations that have a social / environmental challenge that can be solved through Data Science. The challenges of organizations can be in any area of social impact, such as Health, Employment, Environment or Education.
The project may aim, for example, to optimize the allocation of patients to physicians, identify factors leading to school drop-out, identify the risk of recidivism of prisoners, optimize delivery of emergency services or increase effectiveness of intervention strategies with homeless people.
Organizations can apply by June 14 through the form available at this link, and thus develop a Data Science project with the New SBE, at no charge to the Organization.
