This year’s event introduces a new format designed to strengthen the dialogue between academic research and industry practice.
Bridging Research and Practice
This year, the symposium brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss shared challenges, exchange knowledge, and explore collaboration opportunities. Through a combination of keynote presentations, interactive breakout sessions, and the iCAIML Doctoral College poster session, participants from academia and industry will work together on current AI challenges.
- Morning Session (09:00-12:30): AI in Coding & Agentic AI
Explore how AI is transforming software development - from intelligent code completion and automated debugging to agentic systems that autonomously plan and implement solutions. The session combines a visionary keynote with interactive breakout discussions, offering insights into current capabilities, limitations, and emerging trends in AI-assisted programming and Agentic AI systems in other application domains.
- Afternoon Session (14:00-17:30): AI for Optimization & Prediction
Discover recent breakthroughs in AI-powered optimization and predictive modeling, and learn how these techniques can be used in real-world decision-making scenarios across industries. The session features a keynote on state-of-the-art solver technology, highlighting advances in hybrid CP-SAT approaches that combine constraint programming, SAT solving, and MIP techniques to tackle complex scheduling and resource allocation problems. Trough interactive breakout discussions, participants have the opportunity to discuss current challenges, application scenarios, and opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry.
Participation is free of charge; however, registration is required. As space is limited and we need to plan catering, we kindly ask all participants to register in advance. You are very welcome to register for either the morning session, the afternoon session, or both. We look forward to seeing you there!
Submission of practical challenges for the breakout sessions: Participants from non-academic organizations, in particular from the private and public sectors, are warmly invited to submit a practical challenge in one of the topic areas that they would like to discuss with researchers during the breakout sessions.
You can indicate your challenge directly in the Eventbrite registration form. Submitting topics in advance helps us cluster related challenges and prepare focused, well-matched breakout sessions.
