Impact conference: Making a Difference, Societal Impact through Collaborative Research

During this two-day conference, Data School seeks to connect academia and professional practice through joint engagement with urgent questions about technology within social- and organisational contexts. Rather than engaging in hype-driven discussions about ‘Big Data’ and ‘AI’, the focus is on the concrete challenges posed by ongoing socio-technical changes in public administration and media organisations.

Data School organises this workshop-driven conference to foster long-term collaborative research partnerships between academia and the professional field. Keynote speakers are Payal Arora (Utrecht University), Rob Kitchin (Maynooth University), and Minna Ruckenstein (University of Helsinki).
