AI4Science Day

June 23, 2022 @SwissTech Convention Center

Designed by starline / Freepik

The goal of AI4Science@EPFL day is to gather faculty, researchers and students who work or are interested in applications of machine learning to science. 

It is an opportunity for any of them to present their work in a poster session and hear about some of the exciting related work being done at EPFL. Students and young colleagues were particularly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and this day will re-create the atmosphere of conferences where one gets ample feedback on their work and has plenty of networking opportunities.

Oral contributions

The event will provide an opportunity for a limited number of participants to present their work in talk form. You can apply for an oral contribution by submitting a title and an abstract when registering for the event.

Poster session

The event will provide an opportunity for all participants to present their work in poster form to connect and discuss their research. You can apply for an oral contribution by submitting a poster title when registering for the event. This is strongly recommended but optional.
Format: Scientific poster – A0 (Portrait)
Print: Please note, that you will be in charge of printing the poster and bringing it on-site on June 23. 

Audience Anyone is welcome to participate.

Price: Participation is free, but registration is required by June 18th, 2022. We are not accepting submissions for oral contributions anymore
