TUM Project Week: Data Ethics in Practice

The Technical University of Munich’s Project Weeks create a framework in which students and lecturers work on innovative solutions to current problems across disciplines, curricula, and locations.

Local Contexts is thrilled to collaborate with TUM to offer students a chance to engage in a shared space of theoretical and practical technical problem-solving with the goal of contributing to advancement in data ethics and Indigenous data sovereignty.

While participation in the Project Week is limited to TUM students and faculty, stay tuned for a share-back of outcomes and ideas. Learn more about TUM’s Project Weeks on their website.
