Apply for Development i-Teams - Help use Cambridge ideas in the developing world

Closing date: 
Tuesday, 3 May 2022

Have you ever wondered how new ideas can help people in the developing world? Are you interested in what Cambridge can do to help? If so, then our Development i-Teams programme is for you!

This term’s projects are:

  • Assessing the market entry strategy for an open-source device that makes high-quality blood smears for medical diagnostic tests
  • Bridging the gap between planetary climate models and country-level or regional policy-making
  • Investigating the need for monitoring foetal movements in pregnancy

The course will run weekly at 7pm-10pm on Tuesday evenings from May 10th to June 14th, with a mixture of in-person and online sessions. Approximately 4 hours of individual work is needed each week, mostly involving gathering real-world feedback from experts in international development.  

For more details and to apply for a place on a team, see www.iteamsonline.org - apply by TUESDAY MAY 3rd. Applications are welcomed from all students (undergraduates and post-graduates), post-docs and staff, as well as all members of the Centre for Global Equality - anyone with an interest in how technology can make the world a better place for the world's poorest.
