In line with the Helmholtz AI Conference 2025 the Helmholtz AI team at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Campus North invites the Helmholtz AI Community for a Prologue Day at the ZEISS Innovation Hub@KIT. We will have a full range of satellite events that go beyond the program of the main conference to delve deeper into specific applied AI topics, foster collaboration, and provide hands-on learning experiences. Pick your favourite, hands-on-session, tutorial, or unconference contribution. What’s more, you can join our guided campurs tours to explore the KIT's large-scale facilities, including a nuclear reactor, the Energy Lab, a particle accelerator or the HoreKa supercomputer. 

It is our pleasure to help with your bodily and mental comfort. We will handle the logistics for you, providing transportation from Karlsruhe Messe/Downtown to Campus North in the morning and back in the evening, providing food and coffee, as well as offering child-care services throughout the day.

Where: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Campus North, ZEISS Innovation Hub@KIT     
When: June 2, 2025, (full day)

Please note: Even if you registered for the Helmholtz AI Conference 2025 already, a separate registration for participation in the Prologue Day is mandatory! Non-registered individuals cannot get access to KIT's campus.
