The workshop is organized in a form of a “competition to start up research”: teams of data scientists creatively tackle data problems and provide a data analytics solution. The work should be in the form of a policy paper. Policy papers usually address a non-academic audience, such as an official, agency, or organization. They may begin by diagnosing a particular issue or situation, data and typically argue for a solution that will address that issue or situation. Evidence in support of a position is crucial. Each team should therefore include the initial problem/issue, the results of the analysis done, finally addressing the limitations and potentialities.

Based on the judgment of the committee, the three winning teams are entitled to receive three different prizes:

1. 1000 Euros

2. 700 Euros

3. 400 Euros

The event is organized within the Jean Monnet Chair “Small Area methods for Multidimensional Poverty and living conditions Indicators in EU (SAMPIEU)” co-funded to the Department of Economics and Management, chair holder Prof. Monica Pratesi.
