<p class="MsoNormal">The Turing Institute will be hosting the ‘Digital Aid: Understanding the Digital Challenges facing Humanitarian Assistance’ workshop with GCRF on
<u>Monday 9 September 2019</u>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:12.0pt">The event will bring together academics and practitioners working in humanitarian organisations to examine research questions arising from the intersection of global digital developments and
the provision of effective humanitarian assistance in low- and middle-income countries affected by conflict and displacement. The workshop aims to better understand the needs and the issues at the frontiers of development aid for the benefit of humanitarian
organisations. It will also help inform UKRI’s Global Challenges Research fund as it sets priorities for funding going forward. For researchers involved, it will provide the opportunity to shape practices of research funding, aid delivery, as well as offers
the opportunity to help identify the application and development of AI for the benefit of more vulnerable populations across the world and the governments and organisations committed to supporting people in politically unstable contexts. The expectation is
that the ideas generated from the workshop would result in a commissioned report with emergent priorities and recommendations for the humanitarian sector.<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workshop will explore the following research questions in three breakout sessions:
