How to know the best location for building medical clinics if you have no clue where you customers are? Harwin de Vries used data to figure out what the best places were.

Speakers:
= Hein Fleuren, Professor at Tilburg University
= Harwin de Vries, Postdoctoral Researcher at INSEAD Humanitarian Research

Both Hein and Harwin will share with us the opportunities that exist in using data science in the humanitarian context.

Join us in learning more about how to put data to use and how to ask the right questions so that you don’t have to go through all the data.
