organisations put forth real-world problems to be tackled by small teams of selected Researcher Participants.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The DSG will take place remotely over the 2 weeks 12 – 23 July 2021. Participants will need to be able to commit to the full two weeks as well as to take part in a few training and introductory sessions in
the week commencing 5 July. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The DSG provides a fantastic opportunity to rapidly develop your data science skills using real-world data, and offers participants the chance to forge new networks with LIDA, the Alan Turing Institute and
industry. We encourage PhDs, postdocs and other early career researchers to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
