We invite PhD students, academics, and researcher staff from academia

These use cases aim to stimulate the discussion at the academic 
institutions toward addressing real-world problems and to showcase 
innovative solutions to industrial partners.

During the summer school, participants attend lectures of AI 
technologies and carry out practical exercises dedicated to applying 
these technologies to solve concrete industry problems. The summer 
school addresses various aspects of AI in Industry with a particular 
emphasis on

     Web of Things

     Multi-Agent Systems
     Responsible AI

Half of the summer school is dedicated to practical work (through a 
hackathon) while the other half is meant to introduce the theoretical 
foundations underlying the hackathon's framework. The full program 
including keynote speakers and lectures can be found at
