XAL's Pro Bono Program

In our pro bono programme we seek to find solutions to interesting data science challenges together with problem owners using both classical methods and modern machine learning and data science techniques. Our target audience is composed by research institutes and groups, early start-ups, NGOs, and other (funding-limited) companies.

 

The programme is pro bono as we will use our excess capacity in it, both as part of our internal training programme aimed at furthering the professional development of our researchers, as well as part of meaningful onboarding of new employees.

Example Projects

A pro bono project will usually be limited to 100 hours of work.
Some example use cases are:

  • Exploratory data analysis
    Do you need solutions for a broad-framed problem?

  • Workflow automation
    Do you have a lot of data, but need smoother data flow?

  • Predictive analysis
    Can Machine Learning or AI be used in your data pipeline?

  • Feasibility studies
    Do you have a specific hypothesis that needs investigating?

  • Data visualisation
    How to plot complex data in a meaningful way?

To Apply

Submit a 1-2 page proposal for a pro bono project to probono@xal.no. The application should describe the problem space, available data, and desired outcome.

Selection and initial mapping

Typically, there is a two-week review period before approval or rejection. Discuss a roadmap, timeline, and deliverables for the project. Both parties will sign a simple non-disclosure agreement to protect both interests.

Project

Start-up meeting with the end-user and the expert(s) working on the project. The end user is invited to contribute to the project as they see fit.

At the end of the project, we present our results to the client. Deliverables are handed over as outlined in the agreement. Social media engagement from the end user would be greatly appreciated.

We are currently accepting applications. Do you think our pro bono program can make a difference for your project?
