Cambridge Centre for C2D3 Virtual Symposium 2020
Research Rendezvous: An online showcase of exciting research from across the University alongside guest talks from industry and independent organisations. The C2D3 Virtual Symposium 2020 Research Rendezvous seeks to spark new research questions, create new collaborations and connect distant parts of the data science community at the University and beyond. Our audience will be diverse with delegates from across academia, industry, independent organisations, local councils. We are excited to hear talks from our Academic Keynote Speaker Professor Mihaela van der Schaar (University of Cambridge) and our Guest Keynote Speaker Dr Orlando Machado (Aviva). All of the talks will be presented at an accessible level and interesting for all data science abilities; each talk will be accompanied with live meet the speaker Q&A sessions. The talks will be accompanied by an e-poster session and for Early Career Researchers there will be a prize for the best poster. Everyone is welcome to join us.
The event is kindly sponsored by Intel and financial support provided by the Isaac Newton Trust.
