The ADAPT Centre will host its annual ADVANCE event on Thursday, 16th October. Now in its fifth year, this flagship forum unites leading academics, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and policy-makers in artificial intelligence (AI), offering a dynamic platform for sharing ideas, insights, cutting-edge research, and exploring the future of AI. This year the event will explore how trusted, collaborative innovation can help public and private organisations adopt and scale AI and emerging digital technologies.
Join us in person at Europe House, Dublin’s European Hub, for a showcase of working models of engagement that deliver real impact, and spotlight high-value opportunities for research collaboration, commercial partnerships, and societal benefit.
