EoI to join a network of Advisors We are also accepting interest from individuals to join our network of advisors who will engage with our project and cohort activities. Advisors will bring real-world expertise that can benefit SMEs interested in implementing best practices in data science and AI initiatives in their organizations.

EoI will be open till the 30 May, here: https://www.turing.ac.uk/turing-way-practitioners-hub

The Practitioners Hub is a forum for cross-sector collaboration, knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships for accelerating the co-adoption of AI and best practices.
