18 – 19 October 2023
In conjunction with the 9th Annual BRICS Astronomy Working Group Workshop, we will hold a 1.5-day Data Science Hackathon after the two days of science meetings. Participants will work on machine learning approaches to a data-intensive challenge in multi-wavelength astronomy. The hackathon will use the South African ilifu data-intensive research cloud facility. We invite students (undergraduate and postgraduate) to the hackathon and network with peers in the BRICS data-intensive astronomy community.
More information about the hackathon will be provided soon.
