Innovation and the use of New Technologies in Humanitarian Crises:

"WHAT IS BEING DONE & WHAT CAN BE DONE"

iMMAP EVENTSJuly 7 - 10, 2020

From July 7 to July 10, iMMAP Colombia invites you to a series of free webinars on “Innovation and use of New Technologies in Humanitarian Crises: What is being done & What can be done”. Successful cases from other countries will be presented in order to demonstrate that through technology and innovation it is possible to provide better coordinated and more effective assistance in Colombia, and the region.

Over these four days different technical focuses will be developed on information management such as data collection through mobile applications and other alternative technology; the possibility of improving the processing and analysis of data through artificial intelligence; we will have experts on the use of satellite images to create detection models of new settlements

or to calculate poverty; there will also be sessions on the new ways of visualizing information to enable decision making. All these topics are framed within the sectoral response in Health, Food Security, WASH, livelihoods and cash transfers, and the multisector.

We have striven to have the most qualified experts in information management, at an international level and with experience in the humanitarian field. On this occasion we are fortunate to have: Thinking Machines, Premise, RiWi, Dymaxion labs, NukkAI, Mapbox, AirTM, World Vision, ESRI, DataPop Alliance, iMMAP MENA, Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), Code For Venezuela, Data Friendly Space (DEEP), Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, and ISI Foundation.

iMMAP is an International NGO that offers information management services to humanitarian and development organizations.

Through the management of information, we help our partners to direct assistance to the most vulnerable populations in the world.
