The AI Community at KIT is active, but spread-out: KIT Centers MathSEE and KCIST aim to bring AI researchers together in this joint workshop. Join us at Triangel Space for inspiring talks by Benjamin Unger, Maria Francesca Spadea and Tobias Käfer and show your AI-related research at our poster session.

Call for poster contributions now open!

In this year's summer school, we will cover both fundamental concepts and practical applications of Graph Neural Networks. Participants can expect a mix of lectures and interactive sessions that provide insight into the mathematical foundations as well as real-world use cases of graph-based machine learning methods.

This year's group retreat will be from November 2-4, 2026 at the Black Forest. Save the date!

The workshop was co-organized by doctoral researchers from HGS MathComp (Heidelberg) and KCDS and provided a smooth introduction to a challenging, yet highly relevant topic: Stochastic partial differential equations in applied mathematics. It took place from March 9-11, 2026 in Heidelberg.

A worthwhile journey to KIT Institute of Statistics: Talks by Sebastian Engelke, Linda Mhalla, Gabriele Messori, Petra Friederichs gave insights into state-of-the-art research in statistics and data science for climate and weather extremes. The workshop took place on November 20, 2025 at the Campus South outpost in Blücherstraße.

A friendly place in the Black Forest, sunny autumn weather, good food, lively (scientific) discussions, board games and activities ranging from powerpoint karaoke to trampoline jumping were the ingredients of a lovely KCDS Retreat this year! It took place from November 10-12, 2025.

KIT International Excellence Fellow Prof. Victoria Stodden invited the KIT community, especially early career researchers, to create ideas and proposals for facilitating research that is data-, compute-, or AI-enabled - taking reproducibility to action! The workshop took place on January 21, 2025 at Triangel Studio.

From Computational and Data Science to Industry and Academia - four KIT Alumni gave insights into their jobs during a lively panel discussion on October 11, 2024 at Triangel Space.

The hackathon on precipitation estimation with weather radar and rain gauge data took place from October 8-11, 2024 at Triangel Studio.
