Artificial intelligence is having a massive impact on all areas of research like hardly any other science – including at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. We want to meet the resulting demand to bundle and advance research, teaching, and transfer accordingly and have therefore founded the AI-HUB@LMU, a platform that for the first time unites all 18 faculties of the LMU as a joint scientific community.

After a period of intensive preparations, we can now officially launch our AI-HUB@LMU.

Then here are the key dates:

We very much look forward to welcoming you to the opening ceremony and the subsequent reception and to celebrating this milestone with you.
