SUMMARY:Joint Summer School on Resilience and Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Joint Summer School on Resilience and Regulation\, arranged by the WASP Research Arenas Robotics\, Public Safety and Media & Language\, as well as WASP-HS.\n\nThis year’s theme—Resilience and Regulation—centers on building safe and robust AI-driven systems while addressing the legal and regulatory frameworks shaping AI and autonomy. The summer school welcomes PhD students from various disciplines\, fostering interdisciplinary discussions on the challenges and opportunities in developing responsible and resilient autonomous technologies.\n\nThe program will feature a mix of lectures\, hands-on technical sessions\, workshops and student presentations\, with embedded discussions on regulatory and legal aspects across all tracks. Beyond the academic experience\, the Summer School offers engaging social activities and a conference dinner.\n\nThis summer school is a unique opportunity to explore your research at the intersection of technology\, regulation and resilience\, while connecting with peers from WASP and WASP-HS.\nTarget Groups\nThe main target group from WASP Graduate School is Class 2024\, however\, students from other classes are more than welcome to attend. \n\nAll WASP-HS graduate students are expected to attend. \nAccommodation  \nDuring this week\, Norrköping is hosting an SM-week so there is a high demand for accommodation during this period. We strongly recommend booking your accommodation provided that.\nAccommodation WASP-HS students\nWASP-HS have booked rooms at Scandic Strömmen for their students. Visit hotel website. \nAccommodation WASP students\nYou are responsible to book you own hotel accommodation but due to the high demand of hotel rooms during this week there are rooms reserved by WASP at Hotel Nordic which you can book at your own expense. You will need to fill in your credit card when you book the room. The rooms are available until May 25th but please note that we only have a limited amount of rooms so the rooms might be fully booked before that date.\n\nVisit this website to book your room. Fill in booking code “TRAVEL”.\n\n 	Single room (for 1 person): 1010 SEK/night including breakfast and VAT\n 	Double room (for 2 persons): 1400 SEK/night including breakfast and VAT\n\nIf you don’t get a room in Norrköping\, there is a possibility to stay in Linköping and commute to Norrköping (approximately 30 minutes by train or bus).  \nTracks\nThe Summer School is divided into three tracks: WARA Media and Language\, WARA Public Safety and WARA Robotics. \n\nWASP students can choose any track\, as long as they meet the requirements needed for the track. WASP-HS students can choose any track. \n\nRead more about the tracks and requirements further down on this page. \nCancel your participation\nIf you need to cancel your participation\, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible. Send an e-mail to wasp.event@partner.liu.se.\nParticipation in the conference is free of charge\, but if you fail to attend without prior notification\, we will charge a fee of 700 SEK.\n\nOriginal location: Campus Norrköping and Visualiseringscenter C

SUMMARY:AI and Patents – How can AI be patented?
DESCRIPTION:WARA Media & Language\, in collaboration with AWA Stockholm\, invites you to an evening focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and patent law. This event will explore key legal considerations around AI-driven innovation and is open to all interested participants. \nSign up here! \nThe presentation will address the following critical topics: \n\nCan an AI generate a patentable invention?\nHow to identify AI inventions in your work\nHow to get your AI inventions patented\n\n  \nWhy this presentation is relevant for members of WASP and WARA:\nAs a member of WARA/WASP you are at the forefront of research and innovation. Understanding the nuances of patent law in relation to AI is crucial for protecting your intellectual property and maximizing the impact of your work. This presentation will provide you with valuable insights into how AI-driven inventions can be patented\, ensuring that your groundbreaking research is safeguarded and recognized. \nWe believe these topics are highly relevant to your academic and professional journey. \nFor PhD students\, this knowledge is particularly valuable as it directly impacts research practices\, helps protect innovative contributions and positions you as an informed leader in your field. \nIn addition to the AI and patent discussions\, we will also provide a brief practical overview of EU’s new AI regulation – a legal framework that will shape how artificial intelligence is developed and used within the EU. During this session\, you will gain an overview of the structure of the regulation\, its risk-based classifications\, and the concrete requirements placed on companies and organizations. \n  \nAgenda \n17:45 – Welcome and mingle \n18:00 – Presentation and Q&A \n19:00 – Afterwork with light food and drinks \n  \nWe look forward to your participation and engaging discussion. \nOriginal location: AWA Stockholms office\, Jakobsbergsgatan 36\, 111 44 Stockholm
