• From the very beginning, the flagship project of DSSG has been its annual fellowship program, where aspiring data scientists can sharpen their skills in machine learning & data science while working on real problems for the social good

WHAT WE ENVISION

• Through the collaboration of the department of statistics at LMU Munich and the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML) we are now able to launch our own version of the DSSG fellowship program, here in Munich

  • Our vision is to have interdisciplinary teams with diverse backgrounds and skillsets joining forces for meaningful projects. We believe in a strong added value of collaborations across many academic disciplines

  • Outcomes of the projects are not limited to machine learning models, but can be dashboards, insights, descriptive analyses or even data pipelines and infrastructure
