AI in Society, Education and Educational Research - Computational Social Sciences @ BIBB

This forum is a new, regular online meeting place for discussions on AI in society, education and educational research. Feedback from our conferences and workshops over the past few years led to the idea of providing informal yet scientific exchange and networking opportunities on an international scale.

Scope

Present and discuss topical issues, share early research findings or exchange scientific results on a particular topic. We are particularly interested in receiving helpful peer feedback and connecting with others at an international level to exchange ideas. Informal aspects: VC is open for ~20 minutes before and after the meeting.

If you are interested in giving a presentation or helping to organise the event, please get in touch.
