We are excited to announce that Helsinki European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) unit are hosting Summer School on Collaborative and Generative AI (CoGenAI), which will be held at Aalto, Helsinki, on 1-5 July 2024. This is aiming at bringing participants on the latest methods and technologies in collaborative and generative AI with a focus on the role of human modelling and interaction.
Details
This school will have 5 days of keynote talks, lectures, workshops and projects. The lectures are delivered by leading experts and distinguished researchers in artificial intelligence with an excellent track record of research and educational contents. This will get participants up to date with recent techniques which, in turn, are then further developed through application in the workshops in the afternoon. In addition, we will have invited speakers to highlight current work and give a taste of state-of-the-art research in the field. Lastly, a full day will be dedicated to a team-based project on generative models and user modelling in the setting of human-AI systems. Of course, outside of these events, there will be opportunities for the participants to network with the organizers, invited speakers, and each other while enjoying the beautiful sights of Helsinki and Finland!
The programme is still in development, but we already have some high-profile academic and speakers confirmed. The target audience is doctoral students, but is open to other students, academics, professionals, and practitioners from all around the world with an interest and exposure to AI.

More information
ELLIS is a pan-European AI network of excellence that focuses on fundamental science, technical innovation, and societal impact, and their schools are the largest and most significant network and training opportunity for ELLIS students (and other young researchers) of the year. Specifically, ELLIS schools focus on deep diving into research topics, showcasing the work at that ELLIS unit, and providing essential training and networking activities to the program participants.
