Discover the 100 Questions Initiative
How can we unlock the potential of data and data science to provide
answers to the most pressing questions of our time? 

The global challenges we face today grow increasingly complex. To
support problem-solving approaches and policymaking, innovative
solutions, and ideas for developing these solutions are urgently
needed.

The 100 Questions Initiative [https://the100questions.org/] aims to
define the high-impact challenges of our time, leverage relevant
datasets to address these challenges, and set up data collaboratives
to solve them. Data collaboratives offer a promising avenue for
making optimal use of datasets as they allow privately held data to be
utilised for the common good. As there is no consensus on which
societal challenges are most pressing on a global level, the
initiative helps identify the questions that are high on the agenda
across sectors and locations, by: 

 	* Creating a community of practitioners 
 	* Sourcing the questions
 	* Publicly prioritising the questions
 	* Matching the questions to existing datasets 

Focusing on seven domains: migration, gender, air quality, future of
work, disinformation, governance, and food systems & sustainability,
the project aims to make the most out of public resources.

This project is initiated by the Governance Lab (GovLab)
[https://thegovlab.org/], part of the NYU Tandon School of
Engineering, in partnership with others.
