A delegation of 7 CIM members will be presenting at the annual Association of Internet Researchers (AOIR) Conference taking place in Sheffield, from 30th October to 2nd November.

The findings and policy recommendations of the AHRC/BRAID project AI in the street have now been published by project partner Careful Industries and are available hereLink opens in a new window.

On 25 October, Professor Noortje Marres will be in Berlin to give a lecture on The Non-Human Standpoint as part of the conference on Planetary Design at ICI Berlin. It will be live streamed.

PhD student Yulu Pi at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies has been named one of the awardees of the highly competitive Alan Turing Institute’s Program Enrichment Community Award.

CIM is looking to recruit a 4-year full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Human-Centred AI for Disease Modelling and Policy within our Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded HAT MEPP project.

The post is within an exciting new collaborative project that aims to perform research that informs strategic decision-making around plans for the elimination of sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis, HAT). The research will both be at the forefront of cutting-edge technological development and will also deliver real-world impact with its emphasis to better facilitate and broaden the use of statistical models through the use of AI and interaction. The post holder will play a crucial role in designing and developing AI-assisted, interactive and visual decision support tools that will enable key stakeholders from the national disease control programmes to make better and long-lasting use of the disease models developed by the group. Details of the project can be found here.

The deadline for this application is 24 September 2024 and further details of the post and application are here:

CIM is pleased to announce a new project on Human-centred AI for Disease Modelling and Policy funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project aims to perform research that informs strategic decision-making around plans for the elimination of Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT, African sleeping sickness). The project is conducted by a large consortium under the HAT MEPP initiative led by researchers at the Zeeman Institute at Warwick.

The project currently provides decision support to national programmes in Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea and Uganda regarding intervention strategies and cost effectiveness, taking into account resource constraints. In this third phase of the initiative, our plan is to extend the support to a range of new geographies.

Further details of the project can be found on this page: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/research/research-projects/human-centered-ai-disease-modelling-policy/

CIM is thrilled to announce our upcoming Centre for Doctoral Training in Diversity in Data Visualization (DIVERSE-CDT) with colleagues from City, University of London. The CDT will be recruiting over 60 PhDs starting October 2025.
