Towards AI-ready digital twins of scientific instruments

9 November 2026 09:00 to 13 November 2026 17:00 | Seminar & Workshop

Symposium November 9th followed by an Application Hackathon November 10th-13th

This event brings together researchers, students, software developers, and imaging scientists to explore how digital twins of scientific instruments can support the next generation of AI-driven research. Using a virtual light microscope as an initial use case, participants will investigate simulation of samples, image formation, instrument feedback, and AI-based experiment control.

The minisymposium on 9 November 2026, features invited talks and discussions on topics including virtual microscopy, AI agents, autonomous experimentation, and scientific digital twins. 

This will be followed by a hackathon from 10-13 November 2026, where participants will collaborate on concepts, software prototypes, and open frameworks for virtual scientific instruments.

The overall aim is to foster collaborations around AI for Science, autonomous research, digital twins, interoperability across microscopy platforms, and open scientific software ecosystems, while laying the groundwork for future publications and collaborative funding initiatives.

You can register for the minisymposium or the hackathon or both:
