LU eScience Hub: Research and Development within AI and Machine Learning

19 May 2026 10:00 to 15:30 | Conference
AI for Research and Development
LU eScience Hub event - AI for Research and Development

How is AI and machine learning shaping research at Lund University today and where is it headed?

Do join us for a half-day event, running fika-to-fika, where researchers from across the university share their current work spanning mathematical foundations, applied machine learning, social robotics, and more. Through a series of short talks and open Q&A sessions, you'll get concrete insights into ongoing projects, fresh perspectives on the field, and plenty of time to connect with colleagues over fika and lunch.

This Fika-to-Fika event is hosted by the Lund University eScience Hub and is open to anyone at LU with an interest in AI and machine learning — whether you work in the field directly or are curious about how it intersects with your own research.

Date & time: Tuesday  May 19, 10:00–15:30
Location: MA: 5, Mathematics Annex building (LTH), Lund
Audience: Researchers, teachers, PhD students, and staff interested in applied AI and practical workflows
Format: Short talks + Q&A, plus fika and lunch for networking
