Dear all,

This is a reminder for the upcoming AI & Mathematics matching event.

Registrations: here https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/G3XVCXG by *October 15*. To pitch a research idea for potential collaborations: mail the AIM board (aim@nwo.nl) before *October 11*.

The AIM Board cordially invites you to attend the AIM Matchmaking Session on 24 October 2024 at Winthonlaan 2, 3526 KV Utrecht (NWO building). The goal of the workshop is to facilitate the formation of potential new research collaborations between mathematicians working on AI-related topics, serving the overarching ambition of forming consortia for large and medium-sized collaborative research grants (e.g. Open Competition ENW-M2, NWO’s Open Competition XL [expected deadline pre-proposals September 2025] or “Zwaartekracht”).

Should you wish to attend, please register here https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/G3XVCXG by 15 October 2024.

In case you have a clear central research idea to pitch for a potential collaborative application, please send an email to the AIM board (aim@nwo.nl) including your research idea before 11 October 2024. AIM will inform you on 15 October 2024 about the acceptance of the pitches. During the workshop, you will then have time to present your research idea (time depending on number of pitches, you will informed in advance). Please note: if not all pitches can be presented due to time-constrains, alternatives to share the research ideas will be provided.

/Programme (see a more detailed version on the website https://aimath.nl/index.php/2024/09/23/824/)/ The matchmaking will start at 10:00 on 24 October 2024. After a short welcome by the AIM board, researchers will have the chance to pitch their research ideas. During various sessions, discussion and consortium-building will be facilitated. Additionally, the program will include a panel discussion with researchers that have already successfully secured a collaborative research grant. We hope that this program will inspire and encourage our community to come up with new and exciting scientific ideas and impactful research proposals!

We hope to meet many of you there,

The AIM board Christoph Brune Tim van Erven Tristan van Leeuwen Leo van Iersel
