Data Science for Social Good Portugal
Partner
Data Science for Social Good Portugal (DSSG PT) is a non-profit association based in Portugal, with the objective of building an open community of data scientists, data lovers and data enthusiasts that want to tackle problems that really matter. DSSG PT’s goal is to connect people who have data skills with institutions that work on projects with social impact, such as charities, public administration entities and non-profits. Together, the association helps them collect and transform data into actionable knowledge to ultimately increase their impact. DSSG PT’s approach is twofold: first, it engages the Portuguese data science community in data projects aimed at delivering high value products to relevant social good initiatives; second, it fosters the discussion of the social and ethical implications of data science in the society, through events (talks, roundtables, workshops, etc).
