Sunday Symposium

Data-driven Learning, Discovery, and Innovation

The focus of this year’s symposium is data—big data, shared data, metadata; well characterized, multidimensional, complex, physiologic and clinical data—and how data resources function as catalysts and accelerators of progress in understanding, predicting, and treating chronic and critical disorders. The program will include presentations by five outstanding researchers:

Date:Sunday, September 7
Time:1400–1730, followed by a reception 1730–1930
Venue: MIT Media Lab
MIT Campus, Building E14, 6th floor
Corner of Amherst and Ames Streets
