All members of the IMPRS-IS community are invited to attend the eighth annual interview symposium taking place on February 8, 2024. The event will feature two keynote presentations from IMPRS-IS faculty Dr. Wieland Brendel and Prof. Andreas Bulling.
The International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) brings together the MPI for Intelligent Systems with the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen to form a highly visible and unique graduate school of internationally recognized faculty, working at the leading edge of the field. This program is a key element of Baden-Württemberg’s Cyber Valley initiative to accelerate basic research and commercial development in artificial intelligence.
Each year, the program hosts a symposium to interview IMPRS-IS Ph.D. applicants. As the scientific highlight of this year's program, Dr. Wieland Brendel (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and ELLIS) and Prof. Andreas Bulling (University of Stuttgart) will be featured as keynote speakers for the event.
Their hybrid keynote talks will take place back-to-back at the two sites of MPI-IS on Thursday, February 8. All community members are encouraged to join these presentations, preferably onsite if possible.
