DDLS and WASP join forces for research within a data-driven future
June 11 @ 13:00 – 16:00 CEST
Welcome to the official launch of the DDLS-WASP collaboration!
The two largest research programs in Sweden, the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) and the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), will team up in a new collaborative effort, with the ultimate goal of solving groundbreaking research questions and to create synergies across disciplines.
This Zoom meeting will combine inspirational talks and discuss possible ways to initiate formations of strong collaborations that can bridge the gap between the scientific disciplines. We welcome WASP researchers and life scientists to take part in the webinar and to actively engage in new alliances.
The first part of the meeting will be recorded and published on WASP and SciLifeLab YouTube channels.
Matchmaking: submit an abstract!
Prepare for the joint call! To find potential collaborators, common topics, exchange ideas and opportunities, and raise awareness of competencies on each side, we invite you to submit an abstract. The Abstracts will be published in a PDF, updated every Monday (except during July) until the Call closes.
