On May 21-22 an Urban & Climate Risk Data Lab will be held at the World Bank Office in Paris, with HeiGIT joining as an invited partner. Steffen Knoblauch will deliver a guest talk at the event.
This event brings together a selected group of urban and climate risk data scientists from European and African research institutions, private companies, and the World Bank’s Risk Data Fellows working on urban development projects across regions. It aims to foster collaboration, strengthen professional networks, and exchange practical knowledge on urban and risk data.
Participants will examine critical urban data gaps in World Bank priority countries, hear lessons learned through lightning talks, and take part in interactive Data Sprints designed to identify major data challenges and develop scalable solutions.
