Bayes Centre News: Four Edinburgh Students Join the Alan Turing Enrichment Scheme 2024
The University of Edinburgh announces that four PhD students have been selected for the prestigious Alan Turing Enrichment Scheme 2024/2025, enhancing their research through interdisciplinary collaboration at the Alan Turing Institute.
We are pleased to announce that four outstanding students from the University of Edinburgh have been selected to join the Alan Turing Enrichment Scheme for the academic year 2024/2025. The Enrichment Scheme, now in its ninth year, provides PhD students with the opportunity to enhance and broaden their research by collaborating with world-leading experts and accessing the extensive resources available at the Alan Turing Institute.
The 2024 cohort will engage in cutting-edge research across various disciplines, from AI in biomedicine to advanced data science techniques in cancer research. This year’s students will join peers from across the UK, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and contributing to the innovative research community at the Turing.
What I am most looking forward to during the PhD Enrichment Scheme is the opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and collaborate with researchers from diverse disciplines within AI. I believe this experience will be immensely valuable in taking my project to the next level and expanding my knowledge of AI and how its applications are driving advancements across numerous fields.
