LIDA: Societies Showcase + Lunch

The LIDA: Societies Showcase + Lunch will be an opportunity to hear from academics from across the University, outlining their research in social data science and opportunities for collaboration.

The event will also be a chance to learn more about LIDA, our facilities, and the LIDA: Societies community. There will be opportunities to ask questions and mingle with likeminded colleagues, and we will, hence the name, also throw in lunch.
