Intense concentration to solve problems as part of a hackathon
Summer schools, Winter schools?Taking a break from the daily routine in the laboratory and sharing a week of intensive study "beyond the walls" with passionate individuals, doctoral students, and renowned researchers is what Summer or Winter schools offer. These international academic programs enable students from diverse backgrounds to engage in numerous encounters and discussions on highly specialized study topics in an informal atmosphere. It's an opportunity to learn, expand one's network, and generate original lines of thought. |
Caelin Kaplan
Summer School on the Law, Ethics and Policy of Artificial Intelligence
KU Leuven - Belgium
11th-20th of September, 2023
“I am grateful to Université Côte d'Azur for the scholarship that allowed me to participate in this great experience that deepened my understanding of the complex interrelation between technology, law, and ethics. The insight provided by experienced professors and experts highlighted the importance of integrating fundamental human rights and ethical considerations in the development and deployment of AI, emphasizing the necessity of a multi-disciplinary approach.
The key takeaway for me is that we need a humanity-first approach to technological progress. Thanks to the courses and interesting discussions, I am now more able to advocate for ethical AI practices and contribute to insightful policy development.”

Lyon - France
19th-22nd of September, 2023
“I extend my sincere gratitude to RISE Academy for the enriching experience at the GDR RSD 'Summer School on Distributed Learning' (Sept 19-22, 2023). Francis Bach's optimization course, Giovanni Neglia's talk on communication (check our work on Google Scholar), and Denis Trystram's discussion on the ecological impact of federated learning expanded my knowledge as a young researcher. Lyon's vibrant cultural ambiance, known as 'Capitale des Gaules et des Gueules,' added the perfect flair to this exceptional opportunity. Merci infiniment ! »
