2026 Annual General Meeting and International Conference of Young Scientists
The 2026 International Conference of Young Scientists will focus on the topic “Machine Intelligence for Society and for all Sciences”. Machine intelligence – or AI – is rapidly transforming how research is done and what it can achieve, while at the same time affecting all other areas of society and individual lives.
The Conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from all disciplines and from around the world to explore how AI and machine learning can drive progress across disciplines – from climate science and medicine to economics and education. Sessions will also address ethical challenges and societal impacts of machine intelligence.
