The 2026 Data Science Talent Awards are now open for entries, celebrating both emerging individual talent and high-impact team collaboration in life sciences R&D. Alongside the return of the Young Data Scientist of the Year award, a new Data Science Team of the Year category has been introduced to recognise collaborative innovation and measurable business impact from projects completed in 2025.
Shortlisted finalists will be invited to present their work in person on 14 April 2026 at the Pistoia Alliance European Conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. These presentations form the final stage of the awards, and will be followed by a live announcement of the winners. Submissions close on 20 February 2026, and finalists must be available to attend and present in London on April 14.
