Molecular Simulation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Machine learning and deep neural networks boost the efficiency of ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, making possible first-principles predictions where previously only simplified semiempirical models could be used. Two examples at vastly different physical scales will be employed to illustrate the concept.

09/2026 BIFOLD Colloquium

Recent advances in remote sensing have led to an increase in the number of available foundation models; each trained on different modalities, datasets, and objectives, yet capturing only part of the vast geospatial knowledge landscape. While these models show strong results within their respective domains, their capabilities remain complementary rather than unified. 

ELLIS Sites ICML Fest 2026

Ahead of ICML 2026, the ELLIS Unit Berlin hosts a local Pre-Fest spotlighting cutting-edge research from the Berlin–Potsdam AI community. Researchers with relevant ICML papers are warmly invited to present, exchange ideas, and connect. Registration required via Congeno.

AI26 – The Lamarr Conference

The Lamarr Institute is happy to welcome leading researchers, innovators, and decision-makers to AI26 – The Lamarr Conference.  As Artificial Intelligence continues to transform research, industry, and society at an unprecedented rate, the AI26 Conference brings together those shaping scientific foundations and those translating AI advances into tangible impact.

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. 

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.
