Call for Participation
Societal challenges such as climate change-induced threats, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, poor air quality, natural disasters, economic inequalities, racial-and-gender violence, and human conflicts disproportionately impact vulnerable populations worldwide. The 2nd KDD Workshop on Data-driven Humanitarian Mapping envisions scientific and community-based solutions to address these pressing issues.  The workshop brings together a global community of researchers and practitioners to advance the commonly shared data science research agenda on inclusive humanitarian actions and sustainable development. 

We will continue to build on the overwhelming success of the 2020 KDD workshop. This is a critical time to convene a broad spectrum of researchers, NGOs, humanitarian responders, and policymakers to advance the emerging area of Data-driven Humanitarian Mapping. Join the global community in enhancing human-machine intelligence for high-stake public policy and resiliency planning.
