Fora.ai: Reshaping How to Collaborate for Climate and Social Impact

Wednesday, March 23, 2022
3 - 4pm PT
Virtual
Public & Community

An event in the Myra Kroft Open Classroom series, from the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs and Social Impact Lab

This panel will formally launch Fora.ai, a new participatory modeling platform developed at Northeastern University. Fora.ai makes it simple for groups to come together to understand real world problems and create novel solutions in real time, using a simple digital environment. Communities can reshape how they engage and collaborate on climate and social justice issues by building a digital interactive representation of the problem with input from other key stakeholders, then iteratively revising and testing solutions until diverse needs are addressed. Fora.ai provides immediate simulation results for data-driven proof of concepts that are ready to be presented, designed, and implemented in the real world, giving everyone on your team the power to share their unique perspective and build the world they want to live in together.

Featured Speaker

  • Moira Zellner, Professor of Public Policy and Urban Affairs and Director of Participatory Modeling and Data Science, Northeastern University
