28.07. - 01.08.25
This is an event organized by the ErUM-Data-Hub with support from DIG-UM.
The aim of this workshop is to provide future teachers and speakers with practical knowledge on how to teach deep learning while at the same time equipping them with the latest knowledge on deep learning methods. To this end, a dual program is offered in which the theory of deep learning methods and teaching methods are combined in practical hands-on sessions.

EuCAIF is an European initiative for advancing the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Fundamental Physics. Members are working on particle physics, astroparticle physics, nuclear physics, gravitational wave physics, cosmology, theoretical physics as well as computational infrastructure.
The JENAA site was established after the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Seminar (JENAS) at Orsay, that allowed astroparticle, nuclear and particle physics researchers to peek into each other’s activities. The identified overlapping challenges might transform via joint programs into stronger opportunities to further our understanding of both the smallest and the largest structures in nature.

This is an event organized by the ErUM-Data-Hub, AiNT GmbH and LHC-ErUM-FSP Office, with support from DIG-UM.
This workshop aims to support the transfer of the resulting knowledge from ErUM-research to industry by networking scientists and companies. The long term goal is to carry out joint projects, to identify synergies and provide job opportunities.
Why should you participate?
- ErUM scientist: Get to know companies that apply your research topics and technologies. You will benefit from these
contacts through direct exchange with industry, application for research funding in potential joint projects or for future jobs. - Industry: This is your opportunity to present your company and get to know ErUM scientists (machine learning, big data,
digital transformation, future technologies, …). You will also receive information on how to apply for funding for joint projects via ErUM Calls.
