SHORT ABSTRACTS DUE JAN 6, 2020
Austin Workshop:
Towards Health Futures on Digital Innovation, Infrastructure, and Entrepreneurship on Bio Data, Health Data, and Analytics
University of Texas at Austin
AT&T Executive Center
300 Martin Luther King Boulevard,
TX Austin
March 27-28, 2020
We invite researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs to this two-day spring workshop in Austin, TX. Together, we seek to understand the destabilizing character of digitization and biology through the lenses of digital innovation, digital entrepreneurship, and digital infrastructure. This second workshop follows the first workshop in Berlin in 2019: www.de-hub.org/biodata-spring
Some of the preliminary themes of Austin Workshop include but are not limited to:
- New business models for bio and health data
- Data governance, interoperability, privacy, and security
- Smart care delivery systems
- Innovations in wellness and fitness
- Quantum computing
- Open science for health
Please plan to attend and join discussions by sending us us a 2 to 3 page (double-spaced) extended abstract of your current or future research idea/ question/contribution by January 6, 2020. Please note that the abstract can involve a project idea that you are yet to develop into a full-blown project or paper but would like to get feedback.
Please email your abstract to Sirkka Jarvenpaa Sirkka.j...@mccombs.utexas.edu. These extended abstracts will serve two purposes. First, they will help us identify a set of common topics that would then form the basis for developing discussion tables. Second, each abstract will get 30 minutes of discussion time. We will make these abstracts accessible only to the attendees in the workshop.
The workshop facilitates both small group and large group conversations topics. Specifically, the workshop schedule includes parallel small group sessions to which attendees will be assigned based on their abstract and field of interest. Key ‘takeaways’ from these small group sessions will be brought forth and discussed among all attendees in a few plenary sessions. Thus, the emphasis of the workshop will be on facilitating highly interactive discussions rather than formal topic presentations. In addition, we schedule keynote speakers on the two days. These keynote speakers will include industry executives, entrepreneurs, and academics.
To cover the expenses for facilities, lunch and dinner on March 27 and March 28, 2020, we ask faculty participants for a fee of $250, Ph.D. students for a fee of $150, and executives for a fee of $300.
