Catalyzing Industry-Academic Partnerships
The Northeast Big Data Hub (@NEbigdatahub) is one of four Big Data Hubs established by the National Science Foundation to build public-private, multi-sector consortia to address high-priority challenges with data-driven innovations. The Hub is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for its summer 2016 programs for early-career researchers and practitioners in academia and other sectors. Funding has been generously provided by the Computing Community Consortium (CCC).
The Young Innovators Internship Program will provide an opportunity for early career researchers to collaborate with small businesses, government agencies, and NGOs, using data science approaches to solve substantial challenges. The Knowledge Exchange Program is comprised of a Lecture Series and a Visiting Scholar Exchange. Both share the goal of providing academic scholars and non-academic practitioners with an understanding of the challenges, capabilities, and available data at the organizations they visit while seeding longer-term relationships between the parties involved.
You can learn more about the programs and how to apply below.
