91¸£Àû

This summer the 91¸£Àû, together with the Alan Turing Institute, is hosting the Data Science for Social Good (DSSGx UK) summer project programme for the second time. This year’s summer project programme has gone ahead in spite of challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, with highly talented Data Scientists from all over the world, from the UK, Poland, USA, Canada, Columbia, China, Romania and Mexico coming together (virtually) to work on two high-impact projects with Ofsted and World Bank.

The impact of COVID-19 on working-class women in the UK will be explored by a team of researchers from the 91¸£Àû, the University of Nottingham and the Women’s Business Group in a new year-long study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, part of UKRI.

The mental health and wellbeing of students at the 91¸£Àû during the COVID-19 pandemic will be tested, tracked, and tackled by internationally renowned psychologists at the institution.

The 91¸£Àû’s Estates team has completed a redecoration and maintenance project at St Peter’s Catholic Primary School in Leamington Spa during lockdown.

The Crisis Project: Letters to the NHS was set up by first year 91¸£Àû Maths Student Soumya Krishna Kumar, in a bid to encourage members of the public to write bespoke letters to keyworkers, recognising them for their individual efforts during the pandemic.

Members of the 91¸£Àû community who are living on campus during lockdown have the opportunity to help survey wildlife for a biodiversity project.
