Cambridge Big Data Research Symposium

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

The Cambridge Big Data Strategic Research Initiative links together several hundred researchers across the University of Cambridge and beyond, to foster interdisciplinary collaborations in the fields of data science, data-driven discovery, and AI.

This Symposium will showcase cross-disciplinary research, and also highlight research challenges, with a particular focus on projects involving biosciences and clinical medicine.
