We are thrilled to announce the upcoming African Brain Data Science Academy 2023

ABDS Academy is The Kavali Foundation funded two-week intensive training program designed to enhance expertise in data science and neuroimaging. This program will bring together individuals from across the continent, providing them with an opportunity to acquire knowledge on the technologies employed for the collection, processing, and analysis of neuroimaging data. Moreover, participants will learn how to make their analyses and results both shareable and reproducible.

This initiative offers a unique chance for participants to gain understanding, critical approaches to processing and managing large-scale neuroscience datasets. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to network and collaborate with experts and their peers on real-world neuroscience problems.

While applicants with programming and neuroscience data analysis experience are preferred, we encourage individuals from diverse biomedical and computing backgrounds to apply. ABDS Academy is organized by the African Brain Data Network and Neuroscience Society of Nigeria.

ABDN Academy 2023 will take place from the 27th of November, 2023, to 9th of December, 2023, in Lagos, Nigeria.
