The CIDR Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) initiative at the Hebrew University aims to promote the use of data science for positive social impact, and to advance data science education.
We partner with government institutions and nonprofit organizations to work on real-world problems that matter. We are interested in challenges in transportation, education, health, environment, sustainability, criminal justice, minority support, and more.
Our program helps our partners to overcome complicated data science challenges, and also provides practical training for our interns: we offer an interdisciplinary summer internship that focuses on solving these challenges. The program allows interns to practice their skills in data science and machine learning, to work alongside and to learn from mentors and faculty.
