Forecasting for Social Good
30 Ionawr 2018
Abstracts are now being received for presentation at the 24th International Institute of Forecasters Workshop, Forecasting for Social Good to be held at Cardiff University on 12-13 July 2018.
The free event, hosted by Cardiff Business School, will address the imbalance surrounding scholarship on forecasting – a planning tool which helps organisations use historical information and judgement to determine the direction of future developments.
Dr Bahman Rostami-Tabar, Lecturer in Logistics and Operations Management at Cardiff Business School and the organiser and event chair, said: “Much has been published on forecasting for financial and economical motives...”
“The aim of this year’s workshop is to expose the importance of forecasting for social good, a concept which aligns with our public value strategy.”
