Race and Technology Workshop
12 PM–3 PM (ET) | 9 AM–12 PM (PT) | 5 PM–8 PM (BST)
Location: Virtual (Microsoft Teams)
This is an invite-only event.
Microsoft Research is developing a new stream of investment in scholarship and university research institutes and centers pursuing work at the intersection of race and technology.
You’re invited to join us as leaders in the field and interested stakeholders within Microsoft for this virtual two-day workshop. Together we will envisage what this longer-term collaboration and investment could and should look like.
We’ll be asking the following:
What do we want an alliance between Microsoft and the field of Race and Technology to have accomplished 2-3 years out, and what will it take to get there?
