In his talk 'A Bird's-Eye View of Approximate Data Stream Analytics', Minos Garofalakis (TU Crete) will provide an overview of key algorithmic tools for streaming data analytics, with applications and challenges in real-time big data systems.

idalab Seminar, Kay Brosien, x-cardiac

Europe wants AI in healthcare, but is the regulatory system ready? Kay Brosien (COO, x-cardiac) shares lessons from certifying one of Europe's first adaptive AI devices under MDR.

The EU AI Act in Practice: How is the Implementation Going?

“Don’t ask what the AI Act can do for you, ask what you can do for the AI Act.” This talk offers a short introduction to the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), outlining its core objectives, risk-based structure, and fundamental rights safeguards.

Leibnizpreis-Lecture

Join us for the Leibnizpreis-Lecture with Prof. Dr. Klaus-Robert Müller, 2026 Leibniz Prize laureate and Co-director of BIFOLD, who will share insights from his groundbreaking research in machine learning and explainable AI.

Ceremonial Event to celebrate Prof. Dr. Manfred Opper

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Dr. Manfred Opper, Professor Emeritus at TU Berlin, SFB 1294 at the University of Potsdam and BIFOLD cordially invite you to a joint celebratory event.

HIDA Lecture: Agentic AI - Safe Autonomous Agents

Toward the end of 2025, autonomous AI agents made significant leaps in capability. Smarter coding agents, a growing ecosystem of integrations exposed as skills and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and projects like OpenClaw have demonstrated how these components can be combined into self-evolving AI systems. 

07/2026 BIFOLD Colloquium

Gustavo Alonso, full professor at the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zürich, will talk about the role that data streaming plays in architecture and system design, especially in the context of heterogeneous architectures.

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.
