Description:
We are proud to announce the upcoming hackathon (a.k.a. codefest) event, “Cloud-Based and AI-Powered BioImage Analysis” on June 5th-9th, 2023, at SciLifeLab, Solna. As leading partners in the AI4Life consortium, which is funded through the Horizon Europe Research Infrastructure Grant, SciLifeLab and KTH are organizing this event to bring together the computational and life science communities, shaping the future of Data-Driven Life Sciences!

In the AI4Life consortium, we focus on building web and cloud infrastructure aimed at addressing the challenges of building and deploying AI tools for bioimage analysis and making them more scalable and easily accessible from the BioImage Model Zoo.

For the hackathon, we are inviting international experts and hackers on AI-based image analysis and web & cloud infrastructure to lead discussions and form interest groups to hack on related topics. It will feature discussions on our current status and plans in building web and cloud infrastructure for running models in the BioImage Model Zoo, as well as the opportunity to form interest groups to hack on related topics in breakout sessions during the week.
