HeiCADRetreat

On June 12, 2026, HeiCAD will dedicate an entire day to an exchange on AI and data science at the Haus der Universität in Gelsenkirchen. The main goal of the event is to bring together the research groups of HeiCAD members and others as well as provide an opportunity to discuss ideas on AI and data science across faculties. Catering is provided and there will be plenty of opportunity to network over lunch, interactive poster sessions and a social get-together in the evening.

Who is invited?

The HeiCADRetreat aims to cover the full range of interdisciplinary HeiCAD topics: AI and data science and their applications in a wide range of disciplines. We welcome researchers and students from all disciplines and career stages! The event is open to all interested students and researchers working on AI and data science at MUHS or associated institutions.

What is happening?

The retreat includes a “45 Second Madness”, a poster session and custom colloquia to bring together researchers at all career stages to discuss and provide feedback on issues raised by PhD students. There will be also two exciting keynotes on current topics on AI to provide a glimpse into the future and highlight important challenges.
