Our next annual ‘DataDive’ is coming soon, and will be supporting two local charities.
The DataDive is organised by the University’s Physics and Astronomy team and aims to work with local charities to help them make sense of data.
This year, the event will be supporting two projects:
- Stop the Traffik, which aims to build a global picture of human trafficking hotspots and trends, to empower individuals, organisations and agencies to make more informed choices.
- Meningitis Now, which has been involved in the introduction of meningitis vaccines and works to raise awareness and support people affected by meningitis.
DataDive is open to University staff and private sector data scientists/analysts. We are keen to draw on the wide range expertise we have across the University so if you are a postgraduate student, postdoc or staff member with experience of statistics, data analysis, data science, machine learning, data visualisation or general coding and software development skills then you have something to offer that is expensive and in short supply within the charity sector and we would be delighted if you were able to attend the event.
The event will take place over the weekend of 28 and 29 September. Please register at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southampton-datadive-2019-tickets-69033877185
