EY Better Working World Data Challenge 2022

As a global organisation, EY has the power to be stewards of change.  That’s why we created the Better Working World Data Challenge.  We want to work with your students who have an interest in data science to solve the world’s toughest sustainability problems.

Could your students solve the unsolvable?  Do they have the transformative mindset and skillset needed to innovate and solve society’s toughest challenges?  Do they want to go beyond predicting the future and build a better one?

Registrations are now open

This year our focus is on biodiversity because it’s under threat.  Deforestation and habitat loss are threatening many species.  It is estimated that every 20 minutes, an animal or plant species becomes extinct.

We are looking for students with an interest in data science.  They will use their technical skills, curiosity and creativity to build data and AI-enabled methods to locate at scale.  They will have access to an outstanding set of satellite data provided by NASA and the scientific community.

Specifically, they will be looking for frogs.  Frogs are an indicator species which means they are a go-to for scientists wanting to find out more about the environmental health of a particular ecosystem.
