Machine Learning Summer School in Healthcare and Biosciences

OPPORTUNITY.DETAILS OPPORTUNITY.DESCRIPTION

Bumblekite is four’s annual 10-day long machine learning summer school in biosciences and healthcare. The goal of the school is to bridge the skills gap in this interdisciplinary area — between and among people with engineering and data science skills, those with expertise in biomedical sciences and healthcare practice, as well as anyone else who would, with their creative ideas and enthusiastic work, like to participate in shaping the future of healthcare systems across the globe.

Participants of the summer school will gain both technical and domain knowledge, as well as skills in writing, teaching, project management and strategy development — equally important operational skills which we believe are crucial to making positive contributions in this field.

During the summer school, the skills will be obtained through technical lectures by leaders in a given area, skill-oriented tutorials, personalized project development, project-based group work, debates, talks, and Q&A sessions.

Applicants who wish to be considered should also attach an explanation of why they are applying for a scholarship – this will be used as a need assessment that will factor heavily in the decision process, in order to remove the financial barrier of participation for highly qualified applicants, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to participate for financial reasons.
