AI for Science Day

 

Date: 10 April 2025

Time: 10:00-17:00

Location: Scott Logic Theatre, Department of Computer Science

 

This workshop will bring AI experts from NVIDIA, Dell and Durham together to discuss joint success stories, to identify challenge of the future, and to identify collaboration pathways and new projects. Participation is open for all Durham staff, PhD students and RSEs. Guests from other UK institutions are welcome. 

We expect the workshop to provide a platform to speak about the latest technology trends in AI and how they affect our scientific workflows, ambitions and plans. The workshop will exclusively focus on the science side, yet provide participants, if they want to, to have 1:1 conversations with NVIDIA and Dell specialists about particular technical solutions and products. Our overall intention is to offer a stage for new insight through AI but also for knowledge exchange around upcoming AI trends, computational facilities in the NE and internationally, and networking around AI technology.
