Rights and Duties
ScaDS.AI supports Associated Members in networking and developing joint projects. The status allows participation in internal general meetings, lectures, and conferences of ScaDS.AI. In addition, the status enables the scientist to be mentioned and presented on the ScaDS.AI website, for which the scientist has to provide appropriate content. However, the status does not usually entail financial support.
Associated Members commit themselves to support ScaDS.AI and to name their ScaDS.AI co-affiliation in publications related to AI or data science. Corresponding publications of Associated Members will be listed on the ScaDS.AI website.
Application
To become a ScaDS.AI Associated Member, an informal application is required. The application should include a cover letter, CV, list of publications, a research concept (about one page) describing the research focus and outlining the collaborative interests within ScaDS.AI, and a letter of support from at least one ScaDS.AI PI. Applications should be directed to one of the directors of ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig.
Selected candidates will be invited to give a ScaDS.AI public lecture followed by an interview with the ScaDS.AI Management Board. Associated Members are admitted by the decision of the ScaDS.AI Board. The membership is valid for 3 years and can be renewed after a new application.
