Life Sci Hack (London) at MozFest
Life Sci Hack is a free, 2-day traveling hackathon event hosted by Experimental Civics. For the first time, Life Sci Hack will be featured in London at the Mozilla Festival House on Oct 22 & 23, following the receipt of a Mozilla Science Grant earlier this year.
Participants tackle projects relating to these 5 broad challenges: Big Data, Interoperability, Education, Toolkits, and AI. The purpose is to build solutions that impact public health, drug discovery, conservation, and open science.
Additional support for the London event comes from the Oxford Artificial Intelligence Society, The Francis Crick Institute, Synthace, Benevolent AI, Luc Hoffmann Institute, University of Kent, and Mozilla.
