Analytics for a Better World
Analytics for a Better World Institute is a non-profit collaboration between University of Amsterdam, MIT and ORTEC. Our mission "is to apply analytics to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals” Our target groups: - We work with global known NGOs or institutes and specialized/niche NGOs who have a clear fit with our mission. Thus, NGOs who have the drive, believe, commitment, and willingness to create impact with Analytics on the SDGs. - Partner organizations who join our mission and deliver (in-cash or in-kind) technology, licenses, services, products, funding, or support in any form. - Researchers, volunteers, and students who strongly care about our mission and who want to create an impact with their (in-kind) contribution Our approach: - There’s an abundance of small scale experiments and research projects in the domain of SDGs and Analytics, which don’t find their way to implementation (and impact) - We aim to be the missing link to create this impact. By focusing on building NGO’s analytical capabilities, conducting research and driving impact by implementing analytical software and tooling. - We aim to have a global impact and don’t limit ourselves to specific geographic areas, techniques, topics or SDGs Our activities: ABW|Projects: Helping NGOs to carry-out analytics projects (developing strategy and organizational roadmaps, consulting, analytics software development etc.) ABW|Academy: Inhouse courses or open enrolment Summer and Winterschools on Analytics for NGO employees ABW|Research: Developing new (and applied) analytics models and techniques relevant for societal problems related to the SDGs ABW|Meetups: Seminar series for researchers, employees at NGOs and others within our community on Analytics ABW|Journal: A new scientific journal for impactful papers on analytics related to SDGs ABW|Repository: An open-source database storing applications developed for NGOs, for re-use at other NGOs
