Cambridge-Turing sessions: collaborative data science and AI research

You are invited to the Cambridge-Turing sessions, hosted by Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discovery (C2D3) and supported by The Alan Turing Institute. This series of online sessions reflects the strengths and collaborations of data science and AI research across the University and many of the presentations will showcase the University’s partnership with The Alan Turing Institute.

Our speakers will cover a wide range of themes and disciplines including the humanities, natural language processing for mental health, digital twins, weather and climate, and healthcare.

We invite participants from academia, industry, government, third sector and anywhere in between. C2D3 are also keen to find collaborators and make connections in the East of England region.
