Yahoo! Labs, the organization I am part of, has just announced the Key Scientific Challenges Program.

This is your chance to get an inside look at the big challenges Yahoo! research scientists are working on while driving your research forward. Learn more about the real-world problems facing our industry, then focus on and solve these fundamental challenges alongside the top minds in the field.

As a part of the Yahoo! Key Scientific Challenges Program, you’ll receive $5,000 seed funding, exclusive access to Yahoo! research scientists and select datasets, and an invite to the Key Scientific Challenges Graduate Student Summit.

Having recently completed a Ph.D. myself, I can strongly attest to the value of this program, and to the practicality of challenges listed as Search Challenges, among others. If this is you, and interested in actively contributing to important scientific solutions, definitely consider participating.
