We invite PhD students, academics, and researcher staff from academia and industry to apply to the 3rd Summer School on AI Technologies for Trust, Interoperability, Autonomy and Resilience in Industry 4.0 (henceforth AI4Industry).

The summer school is organized around concrete industry problems structured as use cases. These use cases aim to stimulate the discussion at the academic institutions toward addressing real-world problems and to showcase innovative solutions to industrial partners. 

During the summer school, participants attend lectures of AI technologies and carry out practical exercises dedicated to applying these technologies to solve concrete industry problems. The summer school addresses various aspects of AI in Industry with a particular emphasis on 


    * Web of Things 
    * Knowledge Graphs 
    * Multi-Agent Systems 
    * Responsible AI 

Half of the summer school is dedicated to practical work (through a hackathon) while the other half is meant to introduce the theoretical foundations underlying the hackathon's framework. The full program including keynote speakers and lectures can be found at [ https://ai4industry2023.sciencesconf.org/ | https://ai4industry2023.sciencesconf.org/ ] . 

After the summer school, participants are encouraged to continue their engagement in solving these problems with the support of the organizers and submitting their work to conferences.
