Prof. Kate Crawford: Mapping Empires: Artificial Intelligence, Power, and the History of Imperial Systems

The current phase of artificial intelligence is often described as a rupture, as fundamentally new. But what if it is a redrawing of historical patterns? Drawing on her research into the genealogies of technology and power over centuries, Crawford situates today's AI within a much older story. Following the imperial pathways of power since 1500, her talk explores how the systems today echo earlier histories of colonialism, militarization, and automation.

Cedalion Workshop

This scientific workshop introduces researchers to Cedalion, a Python-based toolbox for advanced fNIRS and DOT analysis in naturalistic settings. Built on HOMER3 and AtlasViewer, it integrates machine learning and multimodal data processing for cutting-edge neuroimaging research. 

Proteomics at the Frontier: Python Hearts, Tumour Maps and Better Blood Tests

​If you want to watch biology in motion, watch the proteome: it shifts with disease, treatment, and time. Mass spectrometry provides a window onto this moving picture, which is getting dramatically better right now: new instruments quantify thousands of proteins in minutes, not hours, making population-scale and even routine clinical proteomics realistic for the first time, opening up new opportunities for drug discovery, therapy and diagnostics. 

BIFOLD Summer School 2026

The 2026 Berlin Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society invites researchers and practitioners to explore the parameters which have to be considered when AI systems are designed to act autonomously. The programme will focus on fundamental questions at the interface between autonomous systems, trustworthy machine learning, and robotics, as well as deployment in critical areas such as healthcare and scientific infrastructures.

AIDAQ - AI, Data and Quantum Summit 2026

AIDAQ is a major European event focusing on the latest trends in data, AI and quantum computing. The summit offers a unique opportunity to explore best practices and engage with top-level experts, decision-makers and innovation leaders from industry, politics and academia.

Agentic AI for Earth Observation

The Agentic AI for Earth Observation Workshop will convene researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers from artificial intelligence, geospatial analytics, climate and weather science, remote sensing, and space mission operations.

BEADS Summit

Join us for the BEADS summit on October 21st, 2026. Ten leading scientists from academia (Aalborg, CWI, Purdue, TU München) and industry (Databricks, DuckDB, Oracle, Relational AI, Snowflake) will offer talks on current developments in data systems.
