Students of Natural Sciences: Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence
WHAT WE DO -> PROJECTS -> Students of Natural Sciences: Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence
AI transforms the future of Natural Sciences
SciFY, with the contribution of the Education Office of the country’s largest research center, NCSR “Demokritos”, prepares the next pioneers of Artificial Intelligence in the Natural Sciences.
- We are creating an online Artificial Intelligence (AI) course specially designed for Natural Science students, enriched with videos, exercises, and other training elements.
- We train 120 Natural Science students in AI.
- We create Challenges in Natural Sciences that are solved using AI, with the contribution of researchers from the Institutes of NCSR “Demokritos”.
- We support 30 training program graduates in solving the above Challenges using their acquired AI knowledge. Through a two-day Hackathon and with the help of NCSR “Demokritos” researchers, the graduates will collaborate, network, and develop skills to solve the Challenges.
- We organize a presentation of the results and connect the students with the Research Institutes of NCSR “Demokritos”.
Are you at least in your 3rd year of study or doing postgraduate studies in a School of Natural Sciences? Register for the educational program here.
Support
The project is implemented by the Urban Non-Profit Company SciFY and the Education Office of NCSR “Demokritos” with the support of Ioannis S. Latsis Foundation .
AI transforms the future of Natural Sciences
- Artificial Intelligence affects our lives, and its role is drastically increasing in science fields such as Natural Sciences.
- The changes brought about by AI in the Natural Sciences are so dramatic that students and young scientists must be aware of the developments, as well as of how to utilize them in their research and daily practice.
- We give Natural Sciences students the opportunity to enrich their knowledge and increase their employability.
- We promote the creation of new synergies between research institutes, universities, and students to strengthen research and innovation in Greece.
AI transforms the future of Natural Sciences
The project has already exceeded the targets we set when we designed it:
- 4 AI Courses (video, presentations, tests, etc.) were created specifically for science students by AI Experts.
- 150+ students have completed and continue to be trained in AI.
- 50+ are interested in participating in the Challenges phase, which will run at the end of the year.
- 5 Challenges were created by 4 Institutes of NCSR “Demokritos”:
On the trail of the Neutrinos
Do weather chronicles shape the future?
At the limits of nanocircuits
Towards safer space travel
Turning the tide in energy storage to save the planet
…. and we continue!
