A Toolkit to Succeed in Neuroscience in Africa - an IBRO-ALBA-WWN-SANS Webinar
Following up on last year's webinar - What it takes to succeed as a neuroscientist in Africa, this panel discussion aims at creating a guide to the skill set needed to be a neuroscientist in the African continent. Chairs and panelists will illustrate different areas of expertise as part of the "Toolkit" by matching them to real life experience and solutions that they had to find while building their career as scientists.
ALBA-WWN Webinar: What it takes to succeed as a neuroscientist in Africa
In this webinar, the ALBA Network & World Women in Neuroscience partner to address equity, inclusion & diversity issues across the Sub-Saharan African neuroscience community. The panel discussion will explore the challenges and biases faced by African neuroscientists while establishing their careers - focusing on a lack of mentoring and networking but also on the difficulties to raise funding - as well as display the strengths present in the region, which can be exploited to find solutions. Registration is free but required: https://www.alba.network/alba-wwn-webinar-africa
Challenges and opportunities for neuroscientists in the MENA region
As part of its webinar series on region-specific diversity issues, the ALBA Network is organizing a panel discussion to explore the challenges and biases faced by neuroscientists while establishing their research groups and careers in the MENA region, from an academic and cultural perspective. This will be followed by highlights of success stories, unique region-specific opportunities for research collaborations and recommendations to improve representation of MENA neuroscientists in the global stage.
NMC4 Panel: NMC Around the Globe
For the first time, we are holding a NMC around the globe session, a panel of computational neuroscientists working in different continents who are willing to discuss their challenges and milestones in doing science and training researchers in their home country. We hope that our panelists can share their barriers, what they define as accomplishments and how they would like the future of computational neuroscience to evolve locally and internationally with our diverse NMC audience.
From Sensors to Health Data Analysis
Talks and panel discussions around the LifeQ process of moving from the embedded engineering of sensors on edge devices to big health data analysis in the cloud.
AI UPtake: Panel discussion on collaborative research
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can facilitate new paradigms and solutions in almost every research field. Collaboration is essential to achieve tangible and concrete progress in impactful and meaningful AI and ML research, due to its transdisciplinary nature. Come and meet University of Pretoria (UP) academics that are embracing and exploring the opportunities that AI and ML offer to transcend the conventional boundaries of their disciplines. Join the discussion to debate this new frontier of opportunities and challenges that may enable you to look beyond the obvious, and discover new directions and opportunities that we may offer for tomorrow — together!

How to turn a Machine Learning Use Case into a Successful Startup
Have a great idea involving AI? Want to launch your own business? It takes many iterations before an idea becomes a startup. Lots of coffee, heartache, and git reverts fuel these iterations. We have learned a lot from Cape AI's own incubated startup, Moonshop, Africa's first autonomous microstore. Watch the demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odX6kxhLFC4 Attend our virtual roadshow event to hear lightning talks on creating proofs of concept, failing fast, funding models, selecting and growing a team, finding customers/clients, and building your brand. Afterwards, there will be a short break, then a panel discussion where members of the Cape AI team will answer questions from the audience.
