Joint Summer School on Generative AI 2024
Please note that your attention to the following information on this site before applying to the summer school is important.
About the event
Join us for the Joint Summer School on Generative AI 2024, arranged in collaboration with the WASP Research Arenas Media and Language (WARA M&L), Robotics (WARA Robotics), WASP-HS and Unite!.
The theme—Applications and Implications of Deep Generative Models—expands the research horizons by welcoming students from different disciplines. We aim to foster interdisciplinary discussions and evaluate social and ethical aspects of Generative AI.
The program will be a combination of lectures, hands-on experience of central technologies, workshops, student presentations and memorable social activities, such as conference dinner, pitch event and an excursion to the beautiful surroundings of Marmorbruket. This summer school will give you the unique opportunity to explore your research field at the intersection of technology and society, together with new colleagues and friends from WASP, WASP-HS and Unite!.
The Joint Summer School on Generative AI 2024 will be held in the heart of Norrköping’s old town and in the premises of the world-leading digital science center, Visualization Center C, where the week is wrapped up by presentations of student work and reflections in the center’s state-of-the-art 3D visualization dome.
Application is closed, please contact ivana.von.proschwitz@umu.se if you have any questions.
