dScience events

Join us for a workshop hosted by the dScience Partner Program and DNV, where we delve into the critical role of industry collaboration in achieving a successful Twin Transition. This workshop will focus on the integration of digital transformation and sustainability¡ªemphasising on how artificial intelligence (AI), can be harnessed to address pressing industrial challenges while advancing sustainability goals.

Through expert talks, interactive group work, and collaborative discussions, we will explore the opportunities and risks associated with AI in industry and discuss how to ensure trust and accountability in AI-enabled systems.

Less than 10% of PhD candidates will reach a full professorship and the reward for reaching that position can be long hours, high administrative burden and funding uncertainty. By comparison, more than 20% of university spinout companies become viable companies. The scientific founders get to see their technology make a difference in the real world and some even get rich in the process! Find out if an innovation career is for you (don¡¯t worry if it isn¡¯t) and how Digital Life Norway can help. We also offer a postdoc industry internship and have a well-run and popular Research School you can join if you are focused on biotechnology.

NORA.ai (Norwegian AI Research Consortium) is a consortium of 17 universities and research institutes with the shared goal to advance research, education and innovation in the field of AI, ML and robotics in Norway. 

During this interactive session NORA.ai will give an overview of the AI landscape in Norway and on a global level and discuss the role academia and research play in advancing and applying AI across different sectors. NORA.ai will map out the opportunities available to young researchers through the various programmes, activities and initiatives led by NORA Research School and NORA.startup (NORA¡¯s innovation network of researchers and startups) 

 

An introduction to tools, techniques, and strategies for a more effective and efficient management of postdoctoral projects.

Day 1: Monday, 13 January: 9:00 AM ¨C 12:00 PM

Day 2: Wednesday, 15 January: 1:00 PM ¨C 4:00 PM

Join us on January 9, 2025, for "The Future of Energy is Green and Digital" conference, where we will explore how green energy and digital solutions can work together to build a sustainable future.

Harnessing the Power of ParaView for Large-Scale Data Visualization under the Norwegian AI Cloud (NAIC).

Hands-on workshop on Version Control using Git and GitHub.

Programming with Python is essential in many fields, but navigating packages, environments, and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) can be challenging. This workshop is designed for those starting with Python or struggling with these aspects. It simplifies the process, providing practical guidance and hands-on activities to help participants confidently manage their Python setup and workflow.

Join us for our weekly lunch seminar in the dScience lounge with Kristin Brunk. She will share insights from 45 years of citizen science data on the bluethroat¡¯s breeding distribution across Fennoscandia, exploring how this iconic alpine bird responds to climate change. Brunk will also discuss innovative bioacoustic research and opportunities for collaboration with data scientists.

Join us at the dScience lunch seminar to hear Anne Maria Eikeset and Kjetill S. Jakobsen discuss how genome sequencing is transforming biodiversity research and opening new possibilities for the public sector and industry.

Master the essentials of version control with a hands-on introduction to git and GitHub. This workshop covers the basics, guiding you through practical demos, collaborative projects, and advanced features, ensuring you can manage code versions efficiently. Ideal for researchers, PhD students, and postdocs with some programming experience. 

The workshop takes place over two days: Monday, 11th November, 09:00-12:00, and Thursday, 14th November, 13:00-16:00.

This week¡¯s dScience lunch seminar delves into one of AI¡¯s pressing challenges: how to balance explainability and accuracy in complex machine learning models. Poushali Sengupta, Ph.D. Research Employee at the Department of Informatics, will introduce ExCIR (Explainability through Correlation Impact Ratio), a novel method that addresses this trade-off.

Join the dScience lunch seminar, featuring Sondre Wold, as he explores the intriguing challenges of compositional generalisation in language models. Despite their remarkable capabilities, large language models often falter on simple tasks, exposing limitations in their ability to understand and combine basic elements into complex structures. Sondre will delve into his research and recent international work, shedding light on where these models fall short and discussing potential strategies for improvement.

Welcome to the 11th edition of the November Conference! Bringing Norwegian and Brazilian researchers and professionals together, the conference is the most important arena for developing joint research and innovation.

Join the dScience lunch seminar at the dScience lounge to hear biostatistician Harald Weedon-Fekj?r discuss the complexities of mammography screening. He will explore the debate around non-progressive tumours detected through screening and how statistical modeling helps provide insights at the population level. If you¡¯re interested in the public health balance of cancer screening, this talk is not to be missed.

Is science and research at the heart of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy? How can Norway¡¯s AI students and researchers get involved in making the first comprehensive legal framework for AI? Join this special edition of the dScience Lunch Seminar with Policy Officer at the European AI Office, Alex Moltzau to get some answers. 

Join the dScience lunch seminar at the Science Library with Magnus Li and Alexander Kempton as they explain why public sector digitalisation often falls short. They will discuss how viewing digitalisation as just a technical issue leads to failed IT projects and offer new ways to approach the complex challenges of organisational improvement. Both speakers bring extensive experience in public sector digitalisation.

Welcome to the annual Data Science Day, where we bring together the data science community for a productive mix of networking, learning, and entertainment.

Join the dScience Lunch seminar with Benedikte Wallace as she explores AI-generated dance using deep learning. Wallace will discuss her work on how humans respond to the movements created by AI, highlighting both the challenges and discoveries in using AI for creative tasks. Discover how movement can express emotion, even in robots.
