Event: '"AI Across Disciplines"

What is the event about?

AI Across Disciplines is a semester-long, interdisciplinary event where students from various academic fields - such as law, biology, chemistry, engineering, and more - work together in teams to solve real-world problems using artificial intelligence.

Each team consists of both AI-focused students and students from other disciplines, ensuring a balanced mix of technical and domain-specific knowledge.

What is the goal of the event?

The primary goals are to:

• Demonstrate how AI can be applied across a wide range of academic and professional fields
• Promote collaboration between students from different study backgrounds
• Provide students with practical, hands-on experience using AI tools and techniques
• Connect students with companies, researchers, and potential internship or job opportunities

Who can participate?

• Students from any discipline (no prior AI experience required)
• AI students who want to apply their skills in real-world, interdisciplinary projects
• Students who are curious about how AI can influence their own field of study

How does it work?

• Duration: 1 academic semester
• Teams of approximately five students will be formed (2-3 AI students + 2-3 students from other disciplines)
• Each team works on a real-world project related to a specific field
• The event concludes with a final presentation day where all teams present their work to a panel of experts

How are projects selected?

Projects will be sourced from three main groups:

• Companies
• Professors and academic researchers
• Students with their own ideas

Each project will be matched to a relevant field of study and assigned to a suitable team.

Involvement Opportunities for Companies

• Propose a project

Companies are invited to suggest real-world challenges or problems relevant to their field. These problems will be solved by interdisciplinary student teams using AI.

• Attend the Final Presentation Day

Company representatives can join the final event (either in-person or online) to observe team presentations, ask questions, and meet participants.

• Networking and internships

Companies will have the opportunity to connect with high-potential students. They may offer internships or continue collaboration with selected teams or individuals.

• Act as judges or advisors

Industry professionals may also be invited to act as project judges or provide feedback to teams during the final presentation event.

What Will Participants Gain?

• AI students: Real-world project experience, portfolio-building, and networking
• Non-AI students: Exposure to AI applications, skill development, and interdisciplinary teamwork
• All students: Potential internship contacts, and project experience valuable for future careers
