Objective
The annual AI in Science (AIS) summit is the flagship EU conference driving the implementation of the European Strategy on AI in Science. The event is coordinated by University College Dublin and Research Ireland in association with Ireland’s EU Presidency Programme and part of the European AI Innovation Month.
The overarching theme for AIS26 is ‘Reaching a New Level of Ambition in Research and Innovation’ for the public and private sectors. AI is more than an incremental enabler of existing methods, it can be a pathway to fundamentally different approaches and whole new areas of research.
Achieving the long term vision for AI in Science requires the joint action and coordination of academia, innovators, industry, policymakers, and investors. The keynote presentations will show the clear vision of what can be achieved while also highlighting the changes in policy, investment, technology, and research methods needed to reach that potential internationally.
Attendees will explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on scientific discovery – and how Europe can drive this transformation with a distinctive and responsible approach.
At the core, AIS26 will focus on AI as an enabler of research in any area, but it will feature additional strands covering how AI can transform research in a variety of critical domain areas.
