UCL’s second Festival of Digital Research, Innovation and Scholarship will celebrate all aspects of digital research and scholarship from across the University.
Do you work or study at UCL? Do you make use of digital tools and technologies and/or computational tools for your research?
Then this event is for you!
We are inviting abstracts for presentations, posters and proposals for workshops. Submission can relate to previously published work you’ve already published elsewhere, to projects that are recently started, or to ideas that you have for the future.
Themes:
- AI/machine learning
- Visualising data – including 3D, AR/VR, maps, graphics and more
- Using data for impact
- Open scholarship – data, software and code
- High Performance Computing
- Equity, fairness, sustainability and ethics in digital research
- Other applications of digital research and scholarship
Special sessions:
We are planning two special sessions:
- Digital Twins – we’d love to showcase UCL’s extensive expertise across all aspects of this topic
- Tell Us About Your Community – are you an organiser or member of one of UCL’s many community groups with a focus on the software, tools, techniques and people that enable digital research and scholarship? Come and let us know what your group is all about and recruit new members!
