DSSGxMunich 2023 fellows

Data Science For Social Good Fellowship

Data Science for Social Good (DSSG), is an initiative founded at the University of Chicago in 2013. Its mission is to create and sustain programs, solutions and communities that enhance the use of data science and AI for social good. From the very beginning, the flagship project of DSSG has been its annual fellowship program, where aspiring data scientists can sharpen their skills in ML and Data Science while working on real problems for the social good.

Thanks to the collaboration between the Department of Statistics at LMU Munich and the Munich Center for Machine Learning, we successfully launched our own version of the DSSG Fellowship Program in Munich in 2024 and are excited to continue the program in 2025.

The call for DSSGx Munich 2025 will open in spring 2025. Stay tuned—updates and details will be posted here.
