MICHAELMAS term 2022
The Data Forum will start up again on October 4th 2022, watch this space for details and topics.
The full schedule for 2022 can be found below. The idea is to be here in person but you can also listen to the livestream (for most sessions) via Teams.
WHG Data Forum & coffee morning
WHG is excited to launch the new connect@WHG Data Forum followed by the WHG Coffee Morning on Tuesday mornings. Focusing on a broad theme each term, the Data Forum aims to promote cross-group interactions. As the name suggests, the emphasis will be on 'dealing with data' but we will also have talks on technologies, platforms and latest developments with contributions from the Oxford Genomics Centre.
We're hoping to make the Data Forum inclusive, entertaining and informative with a variety of talks and formats - all are welcome to attend and we look forward to seeing you there!
If you are interested in presenting or have an idea to discuss, please contact Gavin Band (gavin.band@well.ox.ac.uk) and Helen Lockstone (helen.lockstone@well.ox.ac.uk)
All sessions at 10:00-10:30 in Room A / Room B - in person!
