As co-organiser, the FHNW School of Business established the “Borderless Data Analysis Video Competition”, an innovative project series to promote international academic collaboration in the digital age.
Together with the University of Newcastle and the Nihon University, the FHNW School of Business launched an interuniversity digital data analysis competition in the spring of 2021. With the aim of promoting international collaboration in research, the “Borderless Data Analysis Video Competition” brings together students from different parts of the world and academic disciplines to address the global problems facing society today.
During a four-week collaboration phase and via digital platforms, the international research groups worked on their projects.
For the FHNW School of Business, the first edition of this competition was a great success, not only from the perspective of a co-organiser, as two students from the FHNW were among the three winning teams.
With the analysis of safety statistics for female travelers in the London public transport system as well as with an evaluation of unemployment statistics after the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, the two business students Linda Messerli and Jessica Bieselt ranked second and third with their respective project groups.
The judges panel was impressed by the quality of the three award-winning projects, which already set the bar quite high for the upcoming competitions. We can therefore look forward to what the project groups will come up with in the next editions.
