Innovation Scholars: Data Science Training in Health and Bioscience
Cloud-SPAN is one of nine projects funded via the UKRI Innovation Scholars Initiative.
The project teams have fulfilled UKRI’s brief to deliver innovative training programmes to upskill health and bioscience researchers in data management and analysis at an impressive level. The training resources created have provided learners with a plethora of opportunities to learn new skills in a wide range of subject areas. Crucially, the learning resources are relevant and impactful to learners with any degree of experience; beginners to experienced data scientists are catered for.
The training opportunities were very accessible with a range of delivery modes and styles. Nearly 5900 person-training episodes have occurred over 108 events. All projects have enhanced community engagement using innovative technology or approaches and several had dedicated Community leads. Some successful examples include development around a metaverse training centre (L2D), code retreats, hackathons and mentoring (IDEAS, ELIXIR-UK DaSH, Cloud-SPAN), live coding (IDEAS, Ed-DaSH, Cloud-SPAN, L2D) and deployment on the FutureLearn platform (DataCAMPP & KCL Enabling the big data revolution through skills training).*
