Two researchers at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research\u00a0have created a forum to tackle decision-making challenges facing humanitarian organizations.<\/p>\n

Imran Ali and Tino Kreutzer have been on the frontlines of humanitarian response and experienced first-hand the opportunities and challenges that come with large amounts of data.<\/p>\n

Now as a Research Fellow and PhD Candidate, they have organized Emergency Data Science: Taking Advantage of the Data Flood<\/em>, hosted by the Dahdaleh Institute and the Lassonde School of Engineering(LSE) at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ<\/p>\n

Recognizing the need for transdisciplinary solutions to complex humanitarian data science challenges, international experts from five key groups have been invited to participate: humanitarian field & subject matter experts, humanitarian innovation specialists, data and computer science researchers, tech developers, and ethicists & governance specialists.<\/p>\n

Centred around challenges submitted by the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees<\/a>(UNHCR), REACH Initiative<\/a>,M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res<\/a>, and other humanitarian organizations, these experts will work together to develop practical solutions to real problems.<\/p>\n

Over the months to follow, Ali and Kreutzer, will work closely with participants in the design, fundraising, and implementation process to\u00a0make these ideas a reality.<\/p>\n

Connecting innovative research and field experience, this initiative models a process for engaging real-world challenges in high-stakes domains, and exemplifies the strength of collaborative approaches.<\/p>\n
