Recap and recordings of our inspiring Launching Event on June 1, 2022

On June1, 2022, we organised a launching conference to bring together our key partners, researchers and (potential) sponsors. Our aim was to inspire each other, share ABW’s vision and plans and explore opportunities for collaboration. There was huge attention for this event, and we received many very positive reactions afterwards. The program of this day and the slides of the presentations can be found here: Conference Analytics for a Better World – Amsterdam Business School – University of Amsterdam (uva.nl) and for the videos of the presentations we refer to: Analytics for a Better World conference, June 2022 – video.uva.nl.
