What is it like being a Dataquest researcher?
Individual researchers and their teams from other research sprints on which the Dataquest builds report a wide set of short and long term benefits of their participation. As well as receiving a stipend towards living costs of $1,000 (AUD) these are some of the other benefits from sprints like this:
Opportunity to work on an exciting challenge, with direct relevance to your academic area of interest for the benefit of all humankind.
Access to and support from leading experts in the field drawn from the academic, commercial, public and third sectors
Access to cutting edge tools, technology, and datasets from program partners and sponsors
Fast track to career enhancing work output and results
Track record of research teams sharing of results at leading academic conferences within both the space science (e.g. AGU/COSPAR) and machine learning arenas (e.g. AAAI NeurIPS)
Access to a vibrant community of practice which is pushing the boundaries of both space domain and machine learning which for many people is maintained for many years after the formal close of the sprint
Membership of a global network of peers dedicated to application of space data and machine learning for the good of all humankind
Stepping stone/route to opportunities in partner organisations and top drawer tech and science institutions
