CLOSED: Turing-LIDA Data Study Group July 2021
14 May 2021
PhDs, postdocs and other early career researchers are encouraged to apply for a data studies group (DSG) hosted by the Leeds Institute of Data Analytics (LIDA) in collaboration with the Alan Turing Institute.
***THIS CALL IS NOW CLOSED***
The event, which takes place in July 2021 is an intensive ‘collaborative hackathons’, bringing together external organisations with talented multi-disciplinary researchers.
Acting as ‘Challenge Owners’ these organisations put forth real-world problems to be tackled by small teams of selected Researcher Participants.Â
Precise details cannot be released until contracts are finalised, but the challenges at the Turing-LIDA DSG will be in the following general areas:
- Geospatial data, particularly involving 3D point cloud data (LIDAR), and methodology to identify relevant features.
- Consumer data relevant to nutrition, behaviour and government policy.
- Commercial data and business planning.
Challenge organisations are likely to include small and large businesses, and public sector organisations.
The DSG will take place remotely over the two weeks 12 – 23 July 2021. Participants will need to be able to commit to the full two weeks as well as to take part in a few training and introductory sessions in the week commencing 5 July.
The DSG provides a fantastic opportunity to rapidly develop your data science skills using real-world data, and offers participants the chance to forge new networks with LIDA, the Alan Turing Institute and industry.
