We are happy to announce that registration for the First European Summer School on Artificial Intelligence (ESSAI) is now open!
ESSAI is a new, yearly recurring, event organized under the auspices of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) < https://www.eurai.org/%3E. ESSAI that intends to serve as a central hub for PhD students and young researchers working in “all aspects of AI”. The need for such a school emerged in early discussions within CLAIRE < https://claire-ai.org/%3E and transformed into a concrete proposal by the ICT-48 EU research network TAILOR https://tailor-network.eu/, and finalized by EurAI. The structure of ESSAI has been deeply inspired by the ESSLLI (European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information), organized since 1989 under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). The ESSAI Summer School covers two weeks of courses and workshops in the summer, in different sites around Europe, for beginning and advanced students, as well as senior researchers, on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSAI provides foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within all areas of AI, and any related, broader or more specific, disciplines. In addition, it hosts four evening lectures in which prominent researchers present interdisciplinary overviews of recent developments for a broad audience. ESSAI also offers a number of social activities for students and senior researchers alike. ESSLLI summer schools have been highly successful, attracting around 400 students from Europe and elsewhere, we expect that ESSAI will be of the same size or larger. ESSAI wants to develop into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Artificial Intelligence in a broad sense. One of the main attraction points is ESSAI’s special scientific and social atmosphere.
ESSAI 2023 offers 24 one-week courses in different areas of artificial intelligence, offering a wide perspective and bridging across subdisciplines. The courses, organized in six parallel tracks, are at foundational, introductory, and advanced levels. ESSAI 2023 comprises the third TAILOR Summer School, and includes EurAI’s Advanced Course on AI (ACAI 2023), consisting of 10 invited tutorials on the topic of AI for Science as an additional advanced track of ESSAI. The courses and tutorials, presented by top AI researchers from all over the world, are complemented with keynotes and social events.
ESSAI 2023 will be an in-person one-week-long event in beautiful Ljubljana, a relaxed, green, and vibrant European capital. ESSAI 2023 is colocated with the 34th School in Logic, Language and Information ESSLLI 2023, happening one week later at the same location. Attendees of both schools benefit from reduced registration.
*Early registration is available until the 15th of May 2023; go to https://essai.si/registrations/ https://essai.si/registrations/*
