ShiftEDIng Gears – MITO2i and the Acceleration Consortium

The Mitochondrial Innovation Initiative (MITO2i), in collaboration with the Acceleration Consortium (AC), will be hosting a free two-day workshop, designed to foster discussions on equity, diversity, and inclusivity (EDI) in healthcare self-driving labs (SDLs).

The workshop will bring together EDI experts, SDL researchers, and diverse communities to collaboratively to create actionable frameworks for addressing systemic barriers related to the economic, social, and ethical implications of self-driving labs.

Featuring keynote speakers, panel discussions, and a hackathon to co-create open-source resources and explore SDL technologies.
