Would you like to use your research skills outside of academia? Do you want to contribute to a real-world project that could help patients? How about developing your problem-solving, teamworking, and presentations skills? And would you like to get a non-academic experience on your CV? If so, this opportunity is for you!

You are invited to take part in our second Hackathon, specifically run for PhD students and research staff. In collaboration with PrecisionLife and ME Research, you’ll work within a small group of researchers on real problems faced by the company and patients. During this day-long session, you will most likely utilise your literature reviewing, teamworking, and analytical skills. You’ll provide your recommendations to the company, and network with industry partners and peers.

Please note: this Hackathon is targeted at UCL Researchers from across all UCL Faculties and so there is no need for pre-existing knowledge of the exact research areas covered within the challenge! In fact, in industry roles you’ll often be working outside your current niche area of research.

If this sounds like something you’d like to do, please email Sylwia (s.wasiak@ucl.ac.uk) to register your interest!
