AI&I Annual Symposium Committee
The AI&I Annual Symposium Committee is composed of a diverse group of AI&I researchers, including senior and junior scientists as well as basic researchers and clinicians. Together, they organize the symposium to inform, engage, and inspire the AI&I community.
Showcasing Research and Fostering Connections
Each year, the committee selects a timely theme that reflects both AI&I programs and invites internal and external experts to share there insights.
The directors provide an overview of the past year's key highlights, followed by presentations from AI&I grant recipients, showcasing how the funding has advanced their research and the new opportunities it has enabled.
AI&I PhD candidates and postdocs are actively involved and have the opportunity to present their work during parallel sessions and poster presentations.
The day concludes with a dinner at a nearby restaurant, providing a welcoming setting to network and unwind after the day’s programme.
The symposium offers a valuable platform to exchange ideas, discuss research outcomes, connect with colleagues, and explore opportunities for new collaborations.
