Cambridge Big Data Research Symposium

Monday, 26 November 2018, 9.00am to 6.00pm

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.
