The Alan Turing Institute is committed to tackling climate change and its impacts through the power of data science and artificial intelligence.
Data Study Groups (DSGs) and the Turing Internship Network (TIN) are combining for a pilot programme to support charities and NGOs working within the environment and sustainability space.
The Turing will help place PhD data science researchers within partner organisations to work on their data challenges. In conjunction with this research they will also prepare a related DSG challenge, that will be held towards the end of the six-month internship. The Turing will then invite a wide variety of data science experts to further explore these challenges during the DSG. They will then put forward a range of potential solutions or routes for further investigation in response to these problems.
The Turing will cover the costs of both the internship and entry to the DSG. Partner organisations will need to oversee and support their interns, be ready to share their data and participate in the subsequent DSG.

Workshop on 9 March
The process will start with an informational scoping workshop for prospective organisations on 9 March 2022.
This workshop is the first step in getting involved in the DSG TIN pilot programme and will focus on preparing interested organisations for their application into the programme.
During the workshop you will hear about the pilot and have the opportunity to ask questions, as well as considerations on what makes a good challenge. After the workshop, organisations will be able to apply for the pilot.
Organisations must be based in the UK (or have offices within the UK)
To attend this session – apply now. The deadline for applications is 7 March.
