Wed, 10 Dec 2025 9:20 AM - 5:00 PM
We warmly invite all Early Career Researchers and Students from the University of Cambridge to this interdisciplinary data science and AI conference. This is more than just a conference - it's a relaxed, informal and supportive environment, with opportunities to interact and connect with like-minded peers from across the University.
Get involved
Hear directly from successful seed funding awardees, and get involved with two interactive lightning talk mini-sessions. Do you have a problem to solve or a solution to share? We invite you to submit a lightning talk title during registration:
- I have a problem to solve
- I have a solution to share
