Dive into how AI is shaking up knowledge transfer: an interactive workshop followed by an industry & academia panel.
AI is changing how knowledge moves: from professors to students, from research to startups and industry, and from companies to new talent, and vice versa. This evening explores what that shift means for all of us in two parts:
Part 1: Interactive Workshop: Choose your track, connect in small groups to share practical insights, and craft a key question for our speakers. Part 2: Expert Panel: Top leaders from academia and industry take the stage to address your questions live.
The evening programme 17:00 · Workshop (45 min) In this interactive workshop, you’ll choose one of three dedicated tracks covering different aspects of knowledge transfer. Working hands-on with fellow participants, you'll share practical tips to take home and collaborate on key questions to put directly to our panel. 18:00 · Panel (55 min) Your questions take center stage. Top leaders from industry and academia bring their expertise to the stage, taking on the key questions generated during your workshop sessions to dive deep into the future of knowledge transfer.
