DSSGxMunich 2023 fellows
About DSSGx Munich 2024
Data Science for Social Good (DSSG), is an initiative founded at the University of Chicago in 2013. Its mission is to create and sustain programs, solutions and communities that enhance the use of data science and 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 ML and Data Science while working on real problems for the social good.
Through the collaboration of the department of statistics at LMU Munich and the Munich Center for Machine Learning we are also in 2024 able to launch our own version of the DSSG fellowship program, here in Munich.
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.
