Data Driven Transformation Traineeship

Data Driven Transformation

How can we ensure we marshal data in such a way as to benefit society? We explored the possibilities, considering subjects such as the energy transition, health and experience.

What have we been working on?

Within the Data Driven Transformation track, we worked on a future where data can be used to drive transformations of society for the best interests of all of us. We cultivated data literacy so people can critically engage with data and data processing technologies. We primarily focused on ethics, transparency, and on bridging the gap between technology and design.

We did this by creating tools, methods and educational materials, as well as programmes for designers, managers, policymakers, kids and the general public. We translated relevant technical knowledge and academic research into terms that are understandable for everyone. Furthermore we developed a common language to talk about tech, and develop critical thinking with a variety of stakeholders.

Other Tracks

Design Across Cultures

In this track we design new ways to create meaningful connections between multiple stakeholders to co-create insights, ideas and solutions for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The key question: how can you design for collaboration across contexts, cultures and nations, sustainably, without having to be physically travel across the globe?

Digital to Physical

How does the blend of the digital and physical worlds change our society? In this track we explored topics such as smart spaces and objects, physical cybersecurity, inclusivity and the future of our digital/physical society.

EdTech for Social Change

The EdTech for Social Change track is a connective hub that opens space for partnerships, applied research and projects with industry stakeholders. Together we use technology to boost individual learning, corporate training, and to make learning accessible to vulnerable social groups.

Systems for Sharing

In this track we will work on technical, digital and social systems. We create proof of concepts, prototypes and do applied research to support ’systems for sharing’ in the light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We will also train organisations and professionals to adopt a different mindset and be able to stimulate a sharing culture within their work environment or community.
