The workshop focused on data-driven materials modelling, particularly using cutting edge machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods.

The programme consisted of the hands-on tutorials “Equivariant neural networks from scratch” and “Exploring reinforcement learning in materials science”, 6 invited talks from internationally renowned experts as well as several contributed talks from PhD students and postdocs of the participating groups.

The trip to the Eremitage castle and walks in the park and countryside around Bayreuth offered plenty of opportunities for stimulating discussions.
