The Wellcome Data Science Ideathon will fund data scientists with innovative ideas that can help further Wellcome's work. Each challenge will ask participants to develop and pitch ideas to solve problems through data science, which may involve: - developing prototype data platforms - building bespoke machine learning models - app development - application of natural language processing models.

The Wellcome Data Science Ideathon is a competition that will have teams compete to propose data science solutions to tackle three urgent health challenges: mental health, infectious diseases, and climate and health.

Research teams will have the opportunity to develop research proposals and apply for grant funding without having to demonstrate lengthy track records.
