Excellence in Research Award
|
In Phase II of the WiDS Datathon, we will broaden our focus to examine the impacts of climate change across multiple domains. Participants in the Excellence in Research Award will have the opportunity to choose to explore one dataset amongst several, spanning sectors including healthcare, energy and environmental protection. Participants will also have opportunities to take deeper dives into their dataset and tackle a range of impactful real-world tasks.
Participants in Phase II will receive mentorship from experts in the domain related to their choice of dataset and task. Domain expert mentorship in Phase II will allow participants to both strengthen their foundational data science skills as well as develop skills needed to conduct research in data science. Teams with outstanding paper submissions from Phase II will be invited to submit their work for publication. The Phase II Excellence in Research Award will be open from March 8 - June 30, 2022. More details will follow in the coming months. |
