IBM is channeling its science and tech expertise into tackling some of the world's biggest problems.
On Wednesday, the tech giant an**unced the launch of Science for Social Good (https://www.research.ibm.com/science-for-social-good/), a new program that partners IBM researchers (http://research.ibm.com/) with postdoctoral academic fellows and **nprofits to take on societal issues through data.
With the new initiative, IBM an**unced 12 projects planned for 2017. Each Science for Social Good project aligns with one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300), the United Nations' blueprint to address some of the globe's biggest inequalities and threats by the year 2030.
