Call for participation to the Summer School on
AI Technologies for Trust, Interoperability and Autonomy in Industry 4.0
27th to 31st of July 2020
Saint-Étienne, France
http://ci.mines-stetienne.fr/ai4industry

We invite PhD students and early stage researchers from academia or 
industry to apply to the summer school we organise 27th to 31st of July 
2020 on the topic of AI Technologies for Trust, Interoperability and 
Autonomy in Industry 4.0, in a collaboration between French and German 
institutions.
This summer school will have a unique format where participants will be 
intensively working on concrete industry use cases: we plan to dedicate 
most of the summer school to hands-on sessions while providing an 
overview of the theoretical foundations underlying the practical work.

Topics
=====
The summer school will address various aspects of AI in Industry 4.0 (or 
Industry of the future) with a particular focus on:
* knowledge graphs
* the web of things
* decentralised AI
* responsible AI
Each of these topics will be covered in lectures and practical sessions, 
then applied to the industry use cases to devise potential solutions.

Expected candidates and benefits
========================
We welcome applications from PhD students and early stage researchers 
that have already some knowledge in at least one of the topics above, 
but want to broaden their perspective and have a chance to apply their 
skills on real problems. The benefits for the participants are:
* learn or improve knowledge in several areas of Artificial Intelligence
* get in touch with high profile researchers and professors
* build a network with other talented young researchers
* hack together plausible solutions to stimulating real-life problems
* have the opportunity to further develop your approach in collaboration 
with industry partners

How to apply
=========
We will limit the number of participants to 30 people. Therefore, in 
case we receive too many applications, we will select attendees based on 
their résumés and cover letter. Please use the form at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ai4industry to submit them in a 
single file.

The registration fees are 300 € including meals, coffee breaks, lunches 
and special event dinner and accommodation at the student residence of 
Mines Saint-Étienne. Thanks to our sponsorships, some fees may be 
waived. If you need a fee waiver, please send us a motivation letter, 
and we will consider your request in the limit of our budget.
