We are delighted to share with you details of the next University of Birmingham & The Alan Turing Institute Data Study Group taking place in May 2022.
Data Study Groups (DSG) are intensive, collaborative hackathons which bring together organisations from industry, government, and the third sector, with talented multi-disciplinary researchers from academia. Organisations act as Challenge Owners, providing real-world problems to be tackled by researchers.
The events provide a fantastic opportunity for early career researchers to rapidly develop their data science skills using real-world data. The event also offers participants the chance to forge new networks for future research projects and build links with the Turing and industry. We encourage PhDs, postdocs, those with equivalent non-traditional qualifications/experience and other early career researchers to apply.
Please note that the DSG will take place remotely (precursor week) and in person (the event week).
For full details of this format, including the time commitment involved, please read our event page.
Challenges:
• Rolling Stock Brake Condition Assessment (Challenge Owner: Siemens Mobility)
• Casting the Future: understanding failure in turbine manufacture (Challenge Owner: Rolls-Royce)
For detailed information about the challenges please visit the University of Birmingham website.
