Artificial intelligence is having a massive impact on all areas of research like hardly any other science – including at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. We want to meet the resulting demand to bundle and advance research, teaching, and transfer accordingly and have therefore founded the AI-HUB@LMU, a platform that for the first time unites all 18 faculties of the LMU as a joint scientific community.
After a period of intensive preparations, we can now officially launch our AI-HUB@LMU.
🗓 January 29, 2025, 6:00 PM
📍 Große Aula, LMU Munich
