Where We are From
Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) is an initiative founded at the University of Chicago in 2013 (learn more). Its mission is to create and sustain programs + solutions + communities that enhance the use of data science + AI for social good. From the very beginning, the flagship project of DSSG has been its annual fellowship program, where aspiring data scientists can sharpen their skills in machine learning & data science while working on real problems for the social good. Since 2023, the department of statistics at LMU Munich and the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML) are hosting a local branch of the DSSG fellowship program in Munich.
WHAT WE ENVISION
Our vision is to have interdisciplinary teams with diverse backgrounds and skillsets joining forces for meaningful projects. We believe in a strong added value of collaborations across many academic disciplines
Outcomes of the projects are not limited to machine learning models, but can be dashboards, insights, descriptive analyses or even data pipelines and infrastructure
We are looking for project partners
