Data4Healthcare Programme Kick-Off Event

Join us for the kick-off event of the Data4Healthcare programme on Monday, May 26th at 12:00 at the University of Oulu, Kontinkangas campus. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the exciting research being conducted within the programme. The programme aims to advance research and career development in the fields of big data, data analytics, machine vision, and artificial intelligence. Everyone is welcome to participate and hear from the researchers themselves.

After the presentations, there will be a networking session starting tentatively at 14:45, along with catering for registered participants. The event will conclude around 16:00.

Data4Healthcare postdoctoral programme is hosted by the University of Oulu and coordinated by the Biocenter Oulu. Programme is co-funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND of the European Union funding programme Horizon Europe. The programme addresses the growing need for specialists capable of transforming vast datasets into actionable insights for healthcare decision-making.
