Young AI Research Forum: From Research to Impact

Collaborating, Innovating, Commercialising A research result becomes useful when someone outside the lab can use it. The Young AI Research Forum brings early-career AI researchers together with people who have taken that step: through applied research with industry, shared AI infrastructure, technology transfer, and company building. REGISTER HERE MORE INFO About the forum Many young researchers want their work to matter beyond publication, but the route there is rarely described. There is more than one. You can contribute to industrial innovation from within your institution, validate and scale a prototype on advanced AI infrastructure, license a result through technology transfer, or found a company. The forum covers four routes: Applied research with industry. Joint projects that give you access to real problems, industrial data and users while you stay in academia. Validation and scaling. Computing capacity, testbeds and experimentation facilities that take a prototype to a deployable solution. Technology transfer and spin-offs. Protecting and licensing results, and creating companies that keep a link to the university. Startups and investment. Building a team, entering a market, and financing growth. The question is not whether you become a founder. It is how your work gets used.‍ Who it is for PhD students and postdocs in AI and related fields Master's students considering a research career Early-career researchers in academic teams, companies and startups No experience of industry collaboration or entrepreneurship is assumed.‍ How to take part Pitch your research. Twelve slots of five minutes. Present what you work on, where it could be applied, and who might use it. Sign up in the registration form by 25 October. Bring a poster. The poster area is open from 15:30 until the end of the evening. Bring an existing poster; there is no need to make a new one. Join a discussion table. Four tables in the evening, one per route.‍ Programme 15:30–16:00 Regis
