The i-sense Education Alliance has been created to introduce new teaching and training events in order to grow the interdisciplinary skills of our students and researchers.
Led by Dr Neil Keegan and Prof Ingemar Cox, and supported by a team of i-sense members including Dr Mike Thomas, Dr Chris Johnson, Dounia Cherkaoui, Dr Leah Frenette, Erin Manning, and Prof Vince Emery, the unique programme is designed to inspire and prepare our members for their future careers.
Through a series of workshops, students and early-career researchers are exposed to the holistic perspective of end-user needs for diagnostics and early-warning systems, and provided the opportunity to create new working cultures, build relationship between teams in universities, and forge lasting links in industry.
