HeiCADRetreat 2024

On 28 June 2024, HeiCAD dedicated  an entire day to an exchange on AI and data science at HHU. The main goal of the event was to bring together the research groups of HeiCAD members and provide an opportunity to discuss ideas on AI and data science across faculties. In addition, the event was open to all interested students and researchers working on AI and data science at HHU or associated institutions. Catering was provided and there was plenty of opportunity to network over lunch, interactive poster sessions and a social get-together in the evening.

Who was invited?

The HeiCADRetreat aims to cover the full range of interdisciplinary HeiCAD topics: AI and data science and their applications in a wide range of disciplines. We welcomed researchers and students from all disciplines and career stages!

What was happening?

The retreat included a 45 second madness session, a poster session and custom colloquia to bring together researchers at all career stages to discuss and provide feedback on issues raised by PhD students. There were also two exciting keynotes by Dr. Hsien-chin Lin (Computer Science) and Prof. Dr Johann Justus Vasel (Law) on the topics of generative AI and AI and legal challenges to provide a glimpse into the future and highlight important challenges.
