In September 2015, countries around the world adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet, ensure prosperity for all, and achieve inclusive development by leaving no one behind. In fact, digital foot print, User Generated Content (UGC), sensors and other new sources of data offer today an unprecendeted opportunity to dive into an ocean of structured and unstructured data. This data allows the developpement of new approaches to better inform policies, to support effective decision-making and to enhance quality of life for millions of humans around the globe and in Africa, specifically, which will therefore increase chances to achieve SDGs. This workshop is aimed at researchers interested in using Model and Data Engineering to contribute in solving real and challenging problems that relate to SDGs and make a positive impact in people’s life.
Topics
The workshop welcomes submissions, using Models and Data Engineering, in applications on:
and other topics relevant to SDGs
- Health and well-being
- Education
- Climate Change
- Sustainable Tourism
- Sustainable Cities
Submission Guidelines
