Timeline and Schedule

Courses Overview

The goal of the program is to learn the ‘art of feasible’, to be inspired and equip  yourself with the right tools and techniques to  implement data-driven solutions and drive your organisation to make data-informed decisions​.

Within the 8-week program you will through four different phases: Fundamentals, Specializations, Project Scoping and Project Implementation. 

Week 1-5: Classes will run between 14:00 and 18:00 CEST, for a maximum of 8 hours per week. During this time, every lesson is self-contained, as it starts and ends without assignments left for students to complete. Practice occurs according to fellow’s own time and schedule. 

Week 6-8: Your own project! Together with a mentor, you will be able to apply your learnings into a project of your choice.

Note: The idea for this program is that each fellow brings a project relevant to their non-profit. If there is a lack of accessible data or it cannot be obtained during the fellowship, you should possess concepts on integrating openly available datasets to address the chosen problem statement. Also, the project should be feasible to initiate within the four-week timeframe and the goal would be to show initial results or a Proof of Concept (POC) analysis.
