Dear all,

A kind reminder regarding the announcement of the the 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, a collaborative initiative by VIB and SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, taking place from August 24–29, 2025, near Diest, Belgium.

This week-long, hands-on training is designed for researchers with an intermediate background in machine learning and experience using Python. Participants will explore four core topics:
• Protein language models
• Spatial omics data analysis
• Data integration and large language models
• Deep learning for protein structure prediction

The #MLAI25 program includes around 20 hours of practical, group-based work in a hackathon-style format, supported by experienced instructors. In addition to the technical sessions, participants will attend talks on current developments in machine learning and AI in the life sciences.

We’ve also included a midweek social activity to create space for informal connection and exchange. Tickets include accommodation and meals.

The application deadline is Tuesday, April 29. Submit your motivation here: https://www.vibconferences.be/events/machine-learning-and-ai-summer-school

Best regards,
