Bringing together key players in the field of AI4Science — understood here as encompassing the exact and natural sciences as well as engineering — with the goal of establishing and leading an AI4Science initiative within the framework of SCAI and PostGenAI@Paris.

This first meeting aims to identify the existing strengths within the community, and to reflect on how to structure ourselves and increase our visibility both internally and externally through a common identity. It will also explore opportunities for joint participation in project calls, scientific events, training initiatives, and more.
