Join us at the DDLS Hackathon in person at SciLifeLab in Solna, where participants will choose and collaborate on a range of provided projects. With the support of teaching assistants in a hands-on environment, groups will innovate and develop solutions in the dynamic field of data-driven life science.

During the three day hackathon, participants will select a dataset and apply the skills and knowledge gained during the course (see link above for each module) to create AI models, analyze the data, and produce meaningful insights. At the end of the hackathon, teams will present their achievements.

Everyone affiliated with the DDLS programme or interested in data-driven life science is welcome to join–from PIs, PhD students, postdocs, and facility experts/trainers. Participants will form pairs or small groups of 2-3 people on-site to work on projects, exchange ideas and experiences, and engage in pair programming. This collaborative environment will foster innovation and provide a unique opportunity to apply the concepts learned throughout the course to real-world problems in data-driven life sciences.

What will you gain attending the hackathon?

If you are to be selected to participate you will get the opportunity not only to work hands-on on a data-driven life science project, but also to network with experts within the field of data-driven life science, researchers and research infrastructure experts
