Topics

This year we pick three major topic areas from ScaDS.AI and invite international experts to Leipzig to introduce to you to the field and give insights to latest developments in research. However, we also welcome speakers from the fields of graph AI and AI-driven entity resolution.

Program & Highlights (draft)

The summer school will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and to discuss the topics with other participants and speakers. Within our program we will offer plenty of time to get in contact with the speakers and allow you to ask questions. Moreover the summer school hosts several social activities such as a city walk and a dinner in a traditional restaurant. This way, participants will be able to get to connect and partner with other international practitioners and researchers.

Due to the current situation, we are considering implementing a hybrid event. More information on a hybrid event format will follow shortly.

In addition to the official programme items, we are planning a poster session. We will facilitate the presentation of 30 scientific projects of the participants in small pitch talks. If you are interested in participating in the poster session, please send your poster in A2 format and a short summary of the project to scads.ai.events@uni-leipzig.de.
