No disciplines. Only problems.
Disciplines are the means. Discovery is the mission.
Explore AI for Science through frontier talks and seven workshops. Share a project, an idea or an open question with the community. One short paragraph is enough; early-stage work is welcome.
No audience. Only collaborators.
No one solves AI for Science alone.- Bring up to two collaborators free with your paid registration.
- Share your work in the online team directory. Four selected teams will also present on the main stage.
- With your consent, we’ll share your startup’s introduction with our network of 100+ VCs.
No stage. Just tables.
Nobel and Turing laureates, founders and students — same table, shared questions.
Join daytime and evening topic conversations, exchange ideas over lunch, and continue the discussion at the November 5 reception. Speakers may join lunch conversations as their schedules allow.
Individuals are equally welcome. You don’t need a project to attend.
