We’re excited to announce the launch of an international coding competition on Kaggle! Participants will tackle a real-world transfer learning problem in spectroscopy, predicting the concentrations of glucose, acetate, and magnesium sulfate from Raman spectra — even across different instruments! Why join?– Work on a cutting-edge machine learning challenge rooted in bioprocessing and analytical chemistry.– Access a unique dataset of 2,500+ Raman spectra from 8 different devices.– Test your model’s ability to generalize across hardware — a crucial hurdle in real-world PAT (Process Analytical Technology) applications.– Win one of three cash prizes: 1st – $750 | 2nd – $450 | 3rd – $300 hashtag#MachineLearning hashtag#Spectroscopy hashtag#TransferLearning hashtag#RamanChallenge hashtag#Dig4Bio […]

On 25 – 26 June, Marta Candeias and Sofia Aires Martins took part in a short staff exchange with the Research Management Department of Technische Universität Berlin, within the scope of the DIG4BIO project. We were warmly welcomed, which created a great atmosphere for open and forward-looking discussions! The agenda touched on key areas driving research support today: 🔹 ERC and MSCA proposal preparation 🔹 Competitive funding strategies 🔹 University Alliances 🔹 Technology Transfer 🔹 Process modelling and Process management 🔹 Using research analytics to shape research strategy We also learned and shared insights with Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, thanks […]
