Analytics for a Better World would like to invite participants to submit a project for consideration for this award.

The Analytics for a Better World Award is intended for individuals or teams based in the Netherlands working at universities, NGOs, governments, and commercial companies. The award comes with a donation to a charitable organization of €3,000, €2,000, €1,000, for the first, second and third place respectively.

  • An external statement in support of why this individual or organization should be awarded the prize from key stakeholders or beneficiaries of the project.

How will the entry be judged?

The prize will be awarded by the KHMW board based on the recommendation of a panel of judges comprising KHMW members.
