The Interstellar Initiative:
2018 - 2019 Workshop 2
Thursday, January 31, 2019 - Friday, February 1, 2019
The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich St Fl 40, New York
The Interstellar Initiative program is presented jointly by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development and the New York Academy of Sciences. The 2018-2019 workshop series recognizes the world's most promising early career investigators from around the world in the fields of cancer and neuroscience, with a special focus on AI applications in medicine.
Individuals accepted into the 2018-2019 Interstellar Initiative participated in a two-day workshop at the New York Academy of Sciences from June 22 - 23, 2018, where they were grouped within teams of three and asked to propose a solution to a major research question, guided by mentors who are at the peak of their respective disciplines.
This second workshop event is a two-day follow-up to the June event, designed to allow the teams to come together and further their proposals, and receive additional feedback from mentors. The ultimate goal is for these collaborative proposals to be prepared for submission to international funding agencies.
Interstellar Initiative participants will be reimbursed for all eligible travel expenses, visit our Travel and Accommodation page for details. Please email interstellar@nyas.org with any questions.
