Coming Lab Meetings

ChemAI AMS2026

The fourth edition of ChemAI on Nov 12 and 13, 2026. Indeed this year, ChemAI will offer 2 days of news and networking for everyone interested in AI, robotics and quantum applied to molecules, materials, and drugs.

The program features keynotes from world-leading researchers and innovators, including Prof Steven Latré (VP of AI at IMEC), Dr Heike Riel (IBM Head of Quantum & AI, President of the German Physical Society), Prof Timothy Noël (UvA), Prof Tonio Buonassisi (MIT, VP of Sustainable Energy at CSEM), Prof Martijn Schut (Amsterdam UMC), Prof Julija Zavadlav (TUM), Dr Stefano Martiniani (NYU), Dr Yang Cao (Acceleration Consortium, University of Toronto), and talks from Siemens, SandboxAQ, NVIDIA, TOPSOE, VSParticle, Envalior, Dunia, Quantinuum, and more…

The poster session offers researchers an opportunity to present their work, with cash prizes awarded to the top three posters thanks to Matterstack.ai. The company exhibition connects researchers, startups, and industry.

Mini workshop: Starting a deeptech AI startup

Thinking of starting a deeptech AI startup?

This mini workshop is for UvA students and researchers wanting to know more about how to bring your scientific research towards a startup. We will tell more about the academic startup journey and provide practical information but also will give attendees enough time to interact with the speakers among an academic entrepreneur who went through all this.

SBI in Physics and Astronomy Kick-off Event

Simulation-based inference (SBI) is playing an increasingly important role in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Various research groups at Science Park are playing an internationally visible role in its development and application, but are currently somewhat disconnected from each other. To connect students and researchers who are using or developing SBI, or who are just interested in getting involved, we aim to establish a regular meeting series, with a shape, form and content tuned to your needs or interests.

In order to kick this off and get to know each other, we plan a Amsterdam Science Park SBI in Physics & Astronomy Kick-off event (late October/early November)

The event will be half day, with longer and shorter presentations, and with ample time for discussions. The goal of the event is to provide a first quick overview of ongoing and planned activities, set the context, and conclude with concrete plans for events during the academic year.

Draft agenda:

• 2-3 shorter overview talks about opportunities and open challenges of applying SBI in particle physics, astronomy and astroparticle physics/cosmology
• coffee break
• breakout discussions on various SBI topics
• Joined discussion to converge on topics and format for regular meetings about SBI

We aim for a joint lunch before/after the event.

Organisers:

• Dr. D. (Daniela) Huppenkothen
• Dr. O (Oliver) Rieger
• Prof. dr. W. (Wouter) Verkerke
• Dr. C. (Christoph) Weniger
