Date: April 24, 2025 at ARS Electronica Center, Linz

For the German Version please click here.

The Trinational Round Table on artificial intelligence (AI) supports the networking of artificial intelligence experts from Czech, German and Austrian universities and presents the latest research results in the field of machine learning and related technologies. Join us on April 24, 2025 at the ARS Electronica Center in Linz and discuss the different research fields of artificial intelligence and its applications with other scientists. In addition to scientific short presentations, there will be ample time for discussion.

Since 2021, the Trinational Round Table on artificial intelligence has been organised by the Europaregion Donau-Moldau e. V. and the KI Campus Ostbayern. The event is a good opportunity for AI-scientists to network and exchange ideas on their latest research results. In 2021 and 2022 the Trinational Round Table took place online, since 2023 it was organised on-site event at the University of Passau and the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (Budweis). This year, we want to offer a further on-site event, this time in Austria, at ARS Electronica Center in Linz. On April 24, 2025, AI-scientists from different Czech, German and Austrian universities can meet and get to know each other face to face and discuss their research ideas.

The language of the Trinational Round Table is English. For logistical reasons, the number of participants is limited.
