NanoAI welcomes George Giannakopoulos who will present his work, titled “Co-creating an AI-enabled software infrastructure to empower Natural Sciences in NCSR “Demokritos””.
As always, an open discussion will follow.
When? December 22nd, 15:30 Greece
Description: In this presentation we will set the foundations of an endeavor to create a horizontally applicable software infrastructure, which aims to empower scientific research with and beyond NCSR “Demokritos”. The discussion means to illustrate the need, determine the main requirements of such a system, gather suggestions for use cases and set an indicative roadmap of implementation. The workshop is critical in identifying interest regarding this potential and its applicability to various scientific settings.
