FoAI CDT Open Day
Virtual Open Day events were held on Tuesday 4th November at 9.30 AM and 3PM (UK time)
They were a chance to find out more about the EIT CDT in Fundamentals of AI and how you could carry out a fully-funded PhD at the University of Oxford?
There was time to explain more about the programme itself and provide some advice on the application process.
View the slides from the open day.
