On 22-26th July, the Alan Turing Institute, the Francis Crick Institute and Entrepreneur First will be coming together to host a free, 4-day Data Science x Biomedical Science Summer School.
This is a unique opportunity for doctoral researchers and early career researchers interested in entrepreneurship or alternative routes to impact. During the 4 days they will connect with like-minded scientists to seed new ideas, identify collaboration opportunities and get lessons first-hand of what’s required to participate in or launch their own ventures.
There are only 50 places and applications close on 24th June 2019, with places awarded on a rolling basis, therefore it is recommended that prospective particpants apply as soon as possible.
Key details are below:
Date: Mon 22 July – Thurs 25 July
Location: Francis Crick Institute, London
Eligibility: Open to all those with expertise in data science and biomedical science, strong preference is given to researchers operating at doctoral level and above.
Fees: Attendance is free, and bursaries are available (a maximum of £500 per participant for travel / accommodation / care needs)
Final deadline for applications: Mon 24th June 2019 (places are awarded on a rolling basis)
Apply: Complete the online application form

In organising this event, the Turing and the Crick are also considering other promotional ideas, such as guest blogposts from entrepreneurial academics or posts looking at the most relevant methodologies for the biomedical sciences. If you are interested in getting involved in this, please get in touch with Hushpreet Dhaliwal in the Turing’s Partnership Development team to discuss this further: hdhaliwal@turing.ac.uk.
I would be grateful if could you kindly share this with relevant colleagues and researchers who might be interested, particularly doctoral researchers and early career researchers in data science and biomedical science. Please also feel free to share on social media (see our recent tweet, and others from @turinginst and @TheCrick).
