Data Science for Social Good
Inspiring talks
Joël Koppe and Lisa Doove (DSW Zorgverzekeraar) talked about fraud detection and the possibility to change behaviour. Eric Becker and Sjoerd Braaksma (Gemeente Rotterdam) talked about smart traffic models in Rotterdam used to increase the safety of its citizens. Tjerk Feitsma and Omotola Bolarin (Neurodiversity Foundation) presented Mini.AI: a neurodiverse translator built to create an inclusive society.
Discussion, pitches and drinks
After the talks, participants and speakers got together to discuss theses in roundtable discussions. During the conclusion pitches, some great insights were shared. And of course there was time afterwards for networking and drinks.
