AY2024/25 Project Showcase
You can find the past projects from the AY2024/25 batch below. This will give you a sense of what the group project will be like for this course. Note that the problems will not be repeated in subsequent runs, but you should expect similar types of problems. In general, the problems will relate to a real public policy or operational problem and will require you to analyse granular datasets which you are unlikely to have used before this course.
