\nKIT Centers MathSEE and KCIST are jointly hosting “AI Perspectives” at Triangel Space: The goal of this format is to foster scientific exchange among our active but very spread-out AI community at KIT.
AI Perspectives will take place on Wednesday July 8, 2026, 13:00 to 16:00h at Triangel, Karlsruhe.
Register here: https://indico.kit.edu/event/5 580/
The workshop will feature talks by Benjamin Unger, Maria Francesca Spadea and Tobias Käfer as well as a networking opportunity with a poster session. We would like to encourage doctoral researchers to show their research related to AI and submit a poster! For KCDS Fellows, poster contributions will be credited with 1 CP („cutting-edge knowledge“).
Submit your poster abstract until May 20th: http s://indico.kit.edu/event/5580/abstracts/#submit-abstract
