Careers for neuroscientists in Artificial Intelligence
10.00am – 13.30pm BST, Friday 17th June

A hybrid event in person at Arca Blanca, Covent Garden, London and also available online.

The purpose of this event is twofold: to raise awareness of careers in AI to neuroscience postgraduate and Early Career Researchers (ECRs), and to give the chance for commercial organisations to acquire and diversify their talent pool.  We know that our early career members are highly motivated and interested in different career pathways, and wish to help them fulfil their ambitions.
