The new Franco-Moroccan Research Center Summer School offers immersive, interdisciplinary training for students and researchers from France and Morocco. The theme for 2025 is Sustainable AI for Resource-Constrained Healthcare.
From personalized medicine to intelligent diagnostics, robotic assistance, and ethical AI governance, artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare. AI enables the analysis of large datasets to support medical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and optimize healthcare systems.
This summer school aims to explore the scientific and technological advances shaping the future of AI-driven healthcare, with particular attention to resource-constrained environments. It will also foster dialogue between experts in AI, medicine, and ethics.
As part of a strategic partnership between French and Moroccan research institutions, the event offers participants a unique opportunity to gain insights into cutting-edge AI tools and methods for addressing healthcare challenges—while expanding their international networks.
Objectives:
The primary objectives of this summer school are:
- To provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of AI approaches in healthcare;
- To facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue on the ethical, technical, and regulatory dimensions of AI applications;
- To offer hands-on sessions and case studies that highlight the real-world impact of AI in medical settings;
- And to foster collaboration and networking among international students and researchers working on AI for health.
Organization:
