Educational program 2023 (preliminary)

The aim of the Summer School ‘Data Science and AI in Health’ is to introduce young, enthusiastic researchers to the principles of data science and AI in healthcare and clinical research. Participants will be introduced to various aspects of data science, such as setting up and implementing a project. This includes both the collection and cleaning of data and the practical conduct of an initial (machine learning) analysis of the collected data. The data science assignments will be executed in an online web environment (Jupyter Notebooks).

Educational program 2023 (preliminary)

Our summer school will have 1 or 2 overarching themes (t.b.d.). Within this/these context(s), we will explore how diagnosis and treatment can be improved with the help of data science and AI.

Before the start of the course, you will be offered the opportunity to complete an online, Datacamp course to teach you basic skills that will be useful when participating in the Summer School 'Data Science and AI in Health'.
