IDESSAI – The Inria-DFKI European Summer School on Artificial Intelligence

Welcome 2024

The 4th Inria-DFKI European Summer School on AI (IDESSAI 2024) pursues the series of yearly Summer Schools organized by the two renowned German and French AI institutes, DFKI and Inria, in coordination with RICAIP and Triathlon. This year’s summer school has been sponsored by Université franco-allemande.

IDESSAI 2024 will be a 5-day in-person event held at the Innovation Center at the Campus of Saarland University, Germany, from September 9 to September 13, 2024. It stands out from the crowd of offerings for AI students in several respects.

We ensure a good balance in the number of participants and instructors: participants will have the opportunity to join a community of like-minded people and, at the same time, they will be in close contact with the experts.
Our program features a line-up of courses focused on two themes, „Large Language Model and AI“ and „Robotics & AI“, which are at the forefront of socio-economic issues related to AI.
On top of the latest methodological advances and the shared vision of the future that both organizing institutes have to offer, IDESSAI 2024 will be practically oriented. We will achieve this through hands-on courses and the involvement of industry practitioners and innovators.
Participants will be offered to the opportunity to present their work to each other in dedicated poster/demo sessions.

„LLM & AI“ and „Robotics & AI“ will take place in two parallel tracks. There will be plenty of opportunities to exchange between these two tracks at coffee breaks, meals and social events, as well as through joint cross-track sessions.
