Impact Projects
In the spring of 2024, new groups consisting of four students will start working on a project commissioned by their client. All teams need various skills like a data analyst, a creative mind, someone who talks a good game or a thinker, so there is an analyst in everyone. During the various stages of the projects, three different trainings are offered to support the teams; Data Pre-processing, Python, and Pitching training In addition, you will meet regularly with all the teams together to have a closer look at the opportunities and progress of each project. In this way we want to offer the analysts the opportunity to get the most out of the project and provide insight in the other projects. The project round will be completed with a kick-out to present all findings to the clients and to fellow students.
Projects for the spring 2024 round:
Will be announced here later

Yespers.
PAX is the largest peace organization in the Netherlands. We work on protecting civilians from war violence, ending armed conflicts, and building inclusive peace. We do this in conflict areas worldwide, in collaboration with local partners and people who, like us, believe that everyone has the right to a dignified life in a peaceful society.
Instock
InstockMarket is the first B2B marketplace for rescued foods. We connect food surplus and imperfect produce with chefs and the hospitality industry. So far we have saved 1.3 million kgs of food in our Food Rescue Center in Amsterdam! However, we face a challenge in deciding on the volume of incoming waste streams and making informed decisions on their acceptance or rejection. To address this issue, InstockMarket is in need of an acceptance model/tool that can accurately and efficiently assess incoming waste streams and propose the acceptance or rejection of each stream (or the amount of acceptance).
