Meet&Match – AI-Edition

AI.STARTUP.HUB im Digital Hub Logistics, Am Sandtorkai 32, 20457 Hamburg
Speed-Dating mit Gründungsinteressierten? Jetzt bei Meet&Match anmelden!
 
„Mitgründer:in in einem Startup zu sein, klingt für mich super spannend, aber mir fehlt die passende Idee!“ – „Ich hab eine tolle Idee, aber mir fehlen die Fähigkeiten, diese ganz allein umzusetzen!“ – Klingt so, als würde sich das ergänzen? So ist es auch!
 
Im nächsten Durchgang von Meet&Match möchten wir gemeinsam mit dem AI.STARTUP.HUB unter dem Schwerpunkt künstliche Intelligenz wieder zusammenbringen, was zusammengehört: Das Co-Founder-Matching Meet&Match richtet sich zum einen an Einzelpersonen bzw. bereits gebildete Gruppen, die eine Vision oder eine Gründungsidee haben, jedoch noch Teammitglieder mit bestimmten Kompetenzen missen und zum anderen an Gründungsinteressierte, die keine eigene Idee haben, jedoch an einer Gründung interessiert sind und nützliche Skills mitbringen.
 
Im Kick-Off-Event am 27.05.2025 habt ihr wieder die Möglichkeit euch kennenzulernen und in einen Austausch zu kommen. Gründungsinteressierte mit Gründungsidee pitchen ihre Ideen und danach beginnt das kennenlernen und ausloten, welche Idee für welchen Mitgründungsinteressierten interessant sein könnte. Anschließend begleiten wir euch in weiteren spannenden Phasen bis hin zum Match.

European Association for Data Science (EuADS) Summer School 2025

Maison d’Accueil (Convent of the Franciscan Sisters), 50 avenue Gaston Diderich, L – 1420 Luxembourg-Belair

The 2025 edition of the EuADS Summer School is dedicated to Automated Data Science (AutoDS) and will cover important branches of this research field in a tutorial style. With the increasing complexity of data science projects and the limited availability of human expertise, the idea of automating or partially automating the work of a data scientist has come to the fore in recent years. AutoDS aims to streamline the data science workflow, making processes such as data pre-processing, feature engineering, model selection, evaluation and deployment faster and more accessible. By reducing manual intervention, AutoDS enables both non-experts and data scientists to work more efficiently, scale projects, and make data science accessible to a broader audience. It leverages tools from automated machine learning (AutoML) frameworks, automated visualisation and interpretability techniques to enable efficient model tuning, robust evaluation and easy deployment. Despite its advantages in efficiency and scalability, challenges remain in automating subtasks that are context-dependent and require human interaction, as well as model interpretability, dependence on data quality, and ethical concerns related to bias in automated models. These and other issues will be addressed in a series of five tutorials delivered by leading experts in the field.

The Summer School emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of data science and is primarily aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral and early-career researchers with a basic grounding in data science, statistics, machine learning, AI, or related fields, and an interest in interdisciplinary research and applications.

Digital Transformation of Research and Digital Centers in the Science Landscape

This Dagstuhl Seminar seeks to ignite a focused dialogue on the strategic positioning and practical implementation of digital transformation in scientific research. Central to our discussion will be the role of Digital Centers or Hubs as flagship components of modern research infrastructure and the significance of Research Software Engineering (RSE) and Research Data Management (RDM) as essential enablers of their success.

The seminar's guiding question is: How can digital transformation be effectively embedded in the research landscape? Should it be steered centrally via comprehensive digital centers or emerge through decentralized, institution-driven initiatives? We will explore the strengths, limitations, and potential synergies of both models, with the goal of deriving actionable insights for sustainable digital infrastructure strategies.

Another focus is on the tension between disciplinary specificity and transdisciplinarity: Should digital competence centers closely align with specific research domains, or should they work across disciplines to foster collaboration and shared innovation? Understanding this balance is crucial for building effective, scalable digital ecosystems across institutions and research communities.

preCICE workshop 2025

HSU / UniBw Hamburg

The 6th preCICE Workshop will be held at the Helmut-Schmidt University of Hamburg on September 8-12, 2025. The workshop is a coming together of the preCICE community to share ideas, experiences and knowledge about using preCICE, and to learn from others in the process. Like always, we plan to have user and developer talks, hands-on training sessions, discussions with the developers about your applications and use cases, and plenty of opportunities for networking. Read more about how a preCICE workshop looks like.

The workshop will include a hands-on training course. The course is suited for both beginners and current preCICE users, since advanced topics will also be covered. We will extend the course by a new module on HPC.

In the developer talks, the maintainer team will present recent updates on dynamic meshes, mesh-particle coupling, and macro-micro coupling – to only mention a few highlights. And we will continue the standardization process of adapters and application cases, where you can help shaping the future.

Keep watching this space for updates on registration, the workshop program, and more.

Call for contributions
We are looking for talks and posters that could be beneficial for the wider preCICE community. Are you developing a new adapter (such as for G+Smo or ISSM last year)? Are you using preCICE for an exciting new application? Are you developing new methods that should not be missing from preCICE? If the answer to any of these questions was yes, we encourage you to submit a brief abstract for a 20 minutes talk. Are you revisiting one of the classical preCICE use cases? Did you already present your work in a previous workshop? Then we would be very happy to catch up with your work and we encourage you to present a poster. You do not need to submit a contribution to join this workshop. However, your contributions are very welcome!

CELLO - Climate Exploration in Lively Liaison with the Ocean | 5th International Conference on Earth Modeling

Bucerius Law School in Hamburg

CELLO brings together international experts in ocean turbulence, air-sea-ice interactions, and computational methods to model and better understand ocean dynamics. The meeting will take place from September 16th to 18th, 2025, at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, under the leadership of Klaus Hasselmann, recognized the ocean's crucial role in the climate system. Since then, advances in computational power and observational techniques have dramatically enhanced our ability to observe and simulate dynamics that were previously beyond our reach. These advancements now offer deeper insights into Earth's climate and its potential future changes, including how, where, and to what extent these changes might occur.

CELLO seeks to convene leading scientists from our field to share the latest research findings, explore future directions, and foster opportunities for collaboration.

To learn more about the conference themes and convenors please refer to the Conference Program. Submissions and registration will open on this website in Spring 2025.

Conference on Mathematics of Machine Learning 2025

Audimax II, Denickestraße 22, 21073 Hamburg

In recent years, the field of Machine Learning has made significant progress in theory and applications. This success is rooted in the mutual stimulation of mathematical insight and experimental studies. On the one hand, mathematics allows to conceptualize and formalize core problems within learning theory, leading, for instance, to performance bounds for learning algorithms. On the other hand, experimental studies confirm theoretical predictions and instigate new directions in theoretical research. This meeting aims to discuss the interaction between theory and practice, with focus on the current gaps between the two. The talks will be centered around themes including the following.

  • Gradient Methods (gradient optimization, stochastic gradient, natural gradients, gradient applied to deep networks, ...),
  • Natural Geometric Structures (Information Geometry, optimal transport geometry, ...),
  • Generalisation Theory (statistical learning theory, complexity measures, Ill-posed inverse problems, regularization, implicit bias...)
  • Functional analytical tools (approximation theory, harmonic analysis, ...)
  • Overparametrization and random matrix theory (neural tangent kernel, lazy training, convergence of gradient descent, generalization bounds, ...)
