Objective of the Summit:

The primary goal is to foster AI Research in the Semiconductor industry, creating an environment conducive to collaboration and innovation. We aim to ignite discussions on new and exciting topics in the realm of artificial intelligence applied to the semiconductor industry, driving forward the collective intelligence of our research communities.

This event is targeted at ASML and TU/e Researchers, Students, and Partners.

Agenda Highlights:

1. ASML and TU/e Research Roadmap: Explore the future of artificial intelligence in the semiconductor domain, as we delve into topics such as model discovery, next-generation algorithms, knowledge representation, and human-data interaction. This roadmap is a collaborative effort between ASML and TU/e researchers, charting the course for groundbreaking advancements in AI, and will be the basis for new consortiums with universities and other partners.

 

2. Project Showcase: Discover projects at the forefront of AI innovation. From groundbreaking research to real-world applications, these projects exemplify the synergies between ASML and TU/e. Immerse yourself in the possibilities as we present tangible outcomes and demonstrate the impact of collaborative efforts in the field of artificial intelligence.

 

3. Networking and Discussion: The Flagship is a forum for fostering connections and sparking meaningful conversations. Engage with like-minded researchers, exchange ideas, and explore new frontiers in AI. This summit aims to bring together the best minds from ASML, TU/e, and other institutions, to encourage collaborative discussions on emerging topics and pave the way for future breakthroughs. This Flagship will become a central, inclusive place for partners working with the ASML and TU/e.
