The research community Advanced Methods, Data and Analyses to Understand Living Systems is organising its annual event where researchers, data scientists and other professionals working on the future of experimental design and laboratory processes will come together.

Through a series of presentations, we will explore how automation, machine learning and digital tools can contribute to improved reproducibility, greater efficiency and increased innovation in scientific research. In addition to the substantive programme, the focus will be on connecting participants and fostering new collaborations. SURF will also share its perspective and recent developments in the field of machine learning operations.

The afternoon presentations will be held in English.
