The first CLIRPath-AI Sandpit event will be held on 28 and 29 March at the Manchester Conference Centre, Sackville St, Manchester M1 3BB.
CLIRPath-AI is an EPSRC funded network bringing together researchers in the fields of Spectral Pathology, Digital Pathology and Artificial Intelligence, to work together to find creative solutions to diagnostic problems. The UK is at the forefront of developments in these fields, but at present the communities are distinct and independent, and advances in one area are not translated to the other. We hope to facilitate discussions and offer opportunities for further research that reaches across the disciplines.
Our first sandpit event will focus on linking the disciplines of Spectral Pathology and Artificial Intelligence. Those involved in Digital Pathology are encouraged to attend as well, to share their perspectives and expertise.
The event will be an interactive sandpit with focused talks and workshops to formulate potential projects. Funding will be available for project applications derived from this conference.
This event is FREE for UK based academics, early-career researchers and industry. Unfortunately due to funding, UK students and non-UK based academics, early-career researchers and industry will need to pay a fee; Registration is required for all
Hotel accommodation at the venue will be provided for UK based academics, early-career researchers and industry and can be booked at time of registration. We are happy to arrange booking for other attendees but hotel charges will apply. Please contact admin@CLIRPath-AI.org with any special considerations and dietary requirements.
