artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are becoming increasingly important for the scientific community. To prepare you for this future, the Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering (IOM) is hosting a winter school jointly with experts from the Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (ScaDS.AI) in Leipzig and Dresden.

The winter school will be a unique opportunity for you to learn the basics of ML, to gain practical experience in using common tools and to solve real-world problems. The winter school will cover a wide range of topics from AI/ML basics to data visualization and working on a high performance cluster (HPC).

The school is free of charge for participants from member institutions of the Leibniz MMS Research Network. A school dinner on Monday (Oct. 16^th) and a social activity on Wednesday (Oct. 18^th) will give plenty of opportunity to exchange and network. 

Join us for an exciting week in Leipzig from October 16^th to 20^th. Registration will open on August 1^st. Note that due to the limited availability of places, we can only accept one to two participants per Leibniz institute.  

Sincerely,

Your organizing committee
