SUMMARY:WARA Medicine Engagement Day
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the WARA Medicine Engagement Day at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg\, an event designed to strengthen and increase collaborations between AstraZeneca and the WASP community. The Engagement Day will be held as a half‑day hybrid meeting. In‑person participation is strongly encouraged\, but virtual attendance will also be possible.\n\nThe program will begin with a networking lunch\, followed by a general introduction to AstraZeneca and its research environment. The afternoon will then continue with three parallel workshops\, each highlighting key areas for current and future collaboration.\nPreliminary Program\nArrival and registration (ID required)\n\nAcademic guests will have the possibility to do the Amazing Journey\n\n11:30-12:30 Networking Lunch\n\n12:30-13:30 General introduction to AstraZeneca\n\n13:30-14:30 Workshops\n\n 	Robotics in the pharma industry: Joint workshop with WARA Robotics\n 	Scaling foundation models in life science\n 	Preparing clinical data for future medical needs\n\n14:30-15:00 Networking break\n\n15:00-17:00 (Latest) Workshops continues\nWorkshops\n1. Robotics in the pharmaceutical industry: Joint workshop with WARA Robotics\nThis workshop focuses on robotics and automation in pharmaceutical R&D\, connecting real laboratory challenges with ongoing research within WARA Robotics. Through concrete use cases in autonomous labs and AI‑enabled experimentation\, the session aims to identify high‑impact academic–industry collaboration opportunities.\n\n2. Scaling foundation models in life sciences\nScaling foundation models in life sciences requires more than compute. This workshop addresses the need for high‑quality data\, domain‑aware modeling\, and methods to manage noise\, domain drift\, and multimodal complexity. Topics span computational chemistry\, in vitro safety multi‑omics\, and in vivo pathology\, highlighting the importance of close collaboration between academia and industry to advance medical AI.\n\n3. Preparing clinical data for future medical research\nThis session will cover AstraZeneca clinical trial data for secondary use\, including scope\, ongoing work\, and opportunities for future collaboration. It will also explore PROMISE data and potential interaction points between PROMISE and AstraZeneca clinical trials\, with a forward‑looking research perspective.\nWe look forward to a stimulating day of discussions\, knowledge exchange\, and collaboration building.\n\n \n\nRegister before June 15\, 2026.\n\nOriginal location: Astra Zeneca\, Gothenburg

SUMMARY:The Politics of Models: Bias\, Representation and Transparency in Generative Models
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the workshop “The Politics of Models: Bias\, Representation and Transparency in Generative Models.” The event brings together researchers from both WASP and WASP-HS to explore the societal\, cultural\, and technical dimensions of generative AI\, and to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations.\n\nAbout the workshop\nGenerative models can capture an abstract representation of various modalities such as sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. These models are now globally utilized for knowledge and content organization and synthesis. The generative AI models are integrated rapidly into research\, industry\, culture\, and the public sectors; where the accelerated growth hinders the considerations into societal implications of these rapid advancements. These models are new forms of knowledge representation\, in which the technical choices such as applied ontology or categorizations as well as the data sources and gathering processes\, influence\, imply\, and afford new forms of power and control on representation\, history\, culture\, and knowledge associations. Addressing these issues requires both technical advancement and research as well as societal grounding\, awareness in positionality\, and critical engagements. This workshop creates a shared space for WASP and WASP-HS researchers with the goal to build interdisciplinary research directions to influence a better and healthier societal integration of generative AI.\n\nResearchers at all career stages are welcome to apply by April 17.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRepresentation & Bias\nAnalysis of representation and bias in generative models across modalities – sound\, images\, video\, text\, and data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPower & Control\nUnderstanding the new forms of power and control enabled through generative AI over representation\, history\, and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransparency & Accountability\nBuilding frameworks for transparent and accountable deployment of generative models in research and society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSocietal Alignment\nAligning technical solutions with societal expectations\, needs\, and values for a healthier integration of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\nAugust 25: Arrival & Opening\nWelcome lunch\, introductory sessions\, and evening reception at Rånäs Slott. From lunch onwards \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 26: Full Day of Sessions\nKeynotes\, interdisciplinary panels\, collaborative workshops\, and research discussions. Full day \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust 27: Closing & Departure\nFinal sessions\, synthesis of ideas\, future directions\, and farewell lunch. Ends with lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpression of interest\nApply by April 17 to secure your spot. This workshop is open to researchers from both WASP and WASP-HS communities interested in the intersection of generative AI and societal implications. \nSpots are limited to 20 participants so make sure to fill in the Expression of Interest-form to get a chance to attend. Apply here. \n\nOrganizers\n\nKivanç Tatar\, Chalmers University of Technology\nKathlén Kohn\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology\nMd Fahim Sikder\, Linköping University\nFrancis Lee\, Södertörn University\nBodil Formark\, Södertörn University
