H3C training programme

MyData Global’s Human-Centric Companies and Cities (H3C) project helps companies and cities use personal data to make cities smarter.

This training course introduces the building blocks for developing human-centric solutions based on personal data. You will learn why this is important in the first place, and develop new know-how for competing fairly (!) in the digital economy today, and in the future.

You will go through a set of five online trainings – each providing you the necessary tools and concrete examples that will guide your work in the long run. Consider this as a journey – you have the chance to put the gathered insights into practice with your team and iterate further as the training programme continues.

Participation in H3C trainings is free of charge.
