Beyond the impacts on public health, the COVID-19 crisis has had severe social and economic repercussions, posing accentuated and novel challenges in sectors from healthcare to energy to the economy. The rapid spread of the pandemic reinforces the importance of real-time and reliable data for an effective response.
data.org and International Innovation Corps will be co-hosting this webinar on 8 July to generate greater awareness of the innovative role that data science can play in responding to the pandemic in various sectors. What are the challenges to the uptake of big data technologies and analytic techniques? What is the future of data science for social impact in Asia? How do we measure impact in a post-COVID world? You can look forward to a lively discussion from our panel of experts.
This will also be an opportunity to learn more and ask questions about the $10M data.org Inclusive Growth and Recovery Challenge, which is currently accepting proposals using data science to advance shared prosperity, and help ensure an inclusive recovery (deadline 17 July).
