Don’t miss out on our next the AIM RSF seminar on “Qualitative Research, Patient and Public Involvement in Medical Research: Coproduction and Co-design” by Prof. Louise Locock from University of Aberdeen :books: We’ll be discussing how biomedical research policy in many countries has adopted the principle of making research more patient-focused - and we’ll look into how different approaches such as patient and public involvement/engagement (PPIE), qualitative research, participatory research, co-design and co-production sit alongside each other, but seems contentious and unclear. In this seminar, we seek to contribute to this debate by exploring boundaries and overlaps between them Time: 13:30pm on Nov 14, 2023 Register here: https://www.turing.ac.uk/events/qualitative-research-patient-and-public-involvement-medical-research-coproduction-and-co

We’re open to a variety of types of events and activities, Fore example, you may choose to do a one-off event, a small series of activities or a community-based initiative.

More information is available on the Turing website.

Call for submissions: AI UK Fringe | The Alan Turing Institute

This is an opportunity to showcase the work of your groups. One of the benefits of organising a fringe event is that it will be widely publicise, the event will sit on the AI UK webpage, will be branded as an AI UK fringe event and will be promoted through AI UK channels, reaching out to new audiences that may be interested in the work of your group.

The deadline for application is the 22 December 2023.

If you have any questions, please email fringe@turing.ac.uk

The NIHR Imaging Science working group, along with the Royal College of Radiologists, has put together a workshop entitled 'Facilitating the use of routine data to evaluate AI solutions'. The date for this workshop has been set for Wednesday 13th December at the Royal College of Radiologists, London. Registration will open in 2 weeks time on 1st November. In the meantime, we have put together an Expression of Interest form. If you would like to register your interest before November, please fill in this form for an opportunity for priority registration. The day is aimed at supporting teams currently or soon to be involved in imaging data curation, including pacs teams, imaging research practitioners, radiologists, radiographers and physicists. The focus is to provide teams with insights from experts, sharing best practice and identifying ways to overcoming barriers. The agenda is also attached.

UCL Centre for Data Science Symposium on Causal Inference -- 22 November The UCL Centre for Data Science together with IMSS is organizing a one-day symposium on causal inference on 22 November. The symposium will be held at De Morgan House in the London Mathematical Society. This symposium aims to bring together different researchers at UCL who work on or are interested in the different aspects of the theory and application of causal inference. It will also include external leaders in the field as keynote speakers, as well as members of the industry that make use of causal models and methods. The symposium will start at 11am with a reception followed by the keynote talk. After breaking for lunch, it will reconvene at 1:30pm for a session on the application of causality at UCL and a second session on the application of causality in the industry. These sessions will be followed by a panel addressing the challenges and opportunities of using causal models. The closing reception will take place at 5:30pm. The confirmed list of speakers includes Professor Philip Dawid (University of Cambridge), Professor Neil Davies, Dr Ben Deaner, Professor Karla Diaz-Ordaz, and Professor Arthur Gretton (UCL), and Dr Silvia Chiappa (Deepmind). Please follow the following link to register for the symposium: https://forms.office.com/e/sbupeXZMfe
