The Data Science for Social Good (DSSGx) team at the University of Warwick is looking for partners in the not-for-profit / government sectors that want to tackle critical social challenges with the help of data science and AI.

As a project partner on its 12-week summer 2022 programme, partners will get the following free of charge (although a contribution is welcomed):

Each non-profit organisation will be matched with a data science team of 3-4 international students (undergraduate to PhD) from the DSSGX team who will develop a tailored approach to the organisation’s challenge over the summer. Professional technical mentors and project managers will ensure that time is used efficiently, deliverables for each week are achieved and that organisations’ goals are met.

Partner organisations must be able to commit one day a week equivalent through the summer.

The aim overall is to combine the training of students and recent graduates with the delivery of tangible data products that can help the third sector embed AI and data science into their operations. The DSSGx 2022 programme will run at the University of Warwick campus, Covid permitting.

The application deadline is 30 March. Those interested in becoming a project partner can apply on the DSSGx page of the University site, and for an informal conversation about a potential project, email ds**@wb*.uk.
