Overview
The Master of Public Service (MPS) program from University of Waterloo hosted the second annual Policy Datafest last week with more than 70 graduate students digging into public datasets to extract meaningful narratives and recommend policies for positive change.
Key Features
- While much of the world is talking big data, the story in Canada seems to be our shortage of it.
- Recent media reports about our country’s data deficit may be true to an extent, says Anindya Sen, professor of Economics, but there are actually good datasets available through open government portals.
- The challenge is fully utilizing them to make informed policy decisions that improve people’s lives.
