The fellowship is a 12-week programme in summer 2019 which will bring together some of the top talent from data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other related areas to analyse real-world data science challenges for non-profits and government organisations.

Masters, PhD and graduate students are eligible to apply for the fellowship and potentially final year undergraduates. The programme is open to students worldwide. DSSG fellows make a full-time commitment and receive a stipend to cover expenses.

  1.  Exploring novel opportunities for data science in cardiovascular research<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fwork-turing%2Fexploring-novel-opportunities-data-science-cardiovascular-research&data=01%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7C1d2533b3e1494c6de4af08d6673412c3%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C1&sdata=iXgxVIjrvQdYMu%2FvTNgtP7eDhWBVeHSgvZzI2FL6tQk%3D&reserved=0> - deadline: March 2019
In early 2019 The Alan Turing Institute and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) will release the second call for research grant applications through a dedicated joint funding scheme. This has the goal of promoting multi-disciplinary research which could generate data science solutions to key cardiovascular problems in areas such as data access, privacy and anonymisation, machine learning, image analysis, modelling. Please look out for more updates in January, in the meantime we are keen to share this 'heads up' with researchers.

Events:

Please note that for paid events, Turing researchers should use the promo code TURINGSTAFF when selecting the ticket on Eventbrite to receive their free ticket.
