Industry Symposium on "Al in the Life Sciences"
The b-it invites you to the symposium "AI in the Life Sciences" on June 26 and 27, 2023.
Last November, b-it celebrated its 20th anniversary. During these years, the institute has established intensive relationships with industry partners on a European and global level. Now it is time again to organize a special symposium together with the industry partners to highlight the international research and education at b-it.
Attendees of the symposium can look forward to exciting presentations by renowned scientists on the topics of AI in the life sciences as well as a variety of keynotes.
As our capacity is limited, in person participation is by invitation only. For those of you who want to attend the symposium virtually, we have good news: You can register here.
