Welcome to the ELIXIR course: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Life Sciences at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in beautiful Barcelona! We are thrilled to have you as part of our community, and we extend our warmest greetings to you. At CRG, we are committed to providing you with an exceptional learning experience, and we are excited to announce that we will be covering a comprehensive range of topics during this program.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are rapidly transforming life sciences, enabling new approaches to the analysis, interpretation, and integration of increasingly large and complex biological datasets. To fully benefit from these advances, researchers need both a solid understanding of AI/ML methods and awareness of their limitations, best practices, and regulatory frameworks.
This five-day, hands-on training course will guide participants from the foundations of machine learning through deep learning, foundation models, and generative AI, while also covering reproducibility, the DOME recommendations, and the EU AI Act.
Building on the success of the first edition, this second ELIXIR Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Life Sciences will bring together AI/ML experts from five ELIXIR Nodes and 25 participants from across the ELIXIR community, fostering knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the responsible adoption of AI in life sciences.
