DataFest for Climate: The challenge
Challenge: Effects of Climate Change on Biodiversity
The main challenge of DataFest 2023 revolves around exploring the consequences of climate change, with a specific focus on its effects on biodiversity. Participants will be provided with pre-screened datasets from HZ and UCR experts, but are also encouraged to seek additional datasets if needed. The aim is to generate valuable insights that can contribute to the development of solutions for preserving our planet’s diverse ecosystems.
Throughout the day, teams will work in the state-of-the-art Data Science Lab at the Joint Research Center Zeeland, benefiting from the knowledge and support of coaches and experts in both data science and the subject matter. Various engaging activities, such as short presentations and workshops, will be held to keep the atmosphere lively and informative.
At the end of the day, a jury will evaluate the teams’ work and announce the winners. This friendly competition provides an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their skills and make lasting connections with their peers and experts from different organizations, such as Rijkswaterstaat and Provincie Zeeland.
Supported by YourSurprise and Ocular.
