Symposium: Urban Spaces in Baltimore: Data Science in the City
Description
The inaugural Urban Spaces in Baltimore: Data Science in the City symposium, hosted by the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science, aims to bring together academic researchers and city officials to create new opportunities for research projects that benefit both groups.
This symposium will establish what makes a good research question and how city officials can best use research to advance their goals and initiatives, identify current projects in progress/discussion, and create opportunities for new collaborations, with the goal that attendees will leave the event with a starting point for a new project or collaboration. The symposium will include keynote talks, short talks, breakout sessions, posters, and more.
