Speakers:

- Professor James Loxley (text-mining Edinburgh’s literary heritage)
- Professor Jon Oberlander (from medical informatics to data technology).
Professor Oberlander says:
“We will highlight the recent extraordinary growth in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Edinburgh anchored by Informatics - and give a heads-up on the University’s plans for Data Technology and for the Digital Arts. Then it’s over to alumni and friends to share experiences of new modes of industry-university engagement - and to meet old friends, and make new ones.”
