Sport Data Challenge 2021
We’re back! Last year the successful first Sport Data Challenge took place. Together with students and professionals, we came up with numerous new ideas for Le Champion. This year’s Sport Data Challenge is focused on the neighbourhood of Nieuw-West in Amsterdam. It is all about making this specific neighbourhood ‘the most vital km²’ of the Netherlands.
Are you interested in all the incredible ways (vitality) data can be used? Do you want to contribute by finding solutions to stimulate local sports participation? Or are you interested in the small details that have the biggest impact on vitality?
Join us for the second Sport Data Challenge for a chance to show off your data skills. The winning team will be rewarded with amazing prizes!
