Invitation to WASP researchers from Umeå University and IceLab
Have you initiated a promising conversation and possible new research collaboration between AI and life sciences? Are you creative and open-minded? We welcome you and your new team to join us.
IceLab and the Medical Faculty, Umeå University invite you to take the spark of a collaborative research idea and turn it into a concrete research proposal in a stimulating setting.
The IceLab AI Medicine Hackathon’s first stage, the online AI Hackathon Pitch Event October 12th, helped ignite collaboration between researchers in life science and medicine with AI researchers or data scientists that would otherwise not meet. The second stage now aims to transform interdisciplinary sparks into feasible project plans with proof of concepts for ground-breaking interdisciplinary research.
Even if you did not participate at the Hackathon on October 12, you are invited to apply to participate at the camp in Granö. We welcome all multidisciplinary research ideas including life science and AI researchers! It is advantageous, but not a requirement, if you already have data available that can be explored during the camp. You also do not have to have a “formal” project team yet, as long as you have complementing representatives from both areas that are interested in developing a solution to a research question together. The AI Hackathon at Granö will help you take the next step.
Date: November 30-December 2
Apply by November 12 at the latest.
