AI for science is a promising field of research. IISc is uniquely placed to impact this line of scientific inquiry. Accordingly, the AI4Science Workshop is being held on Thursday, 5th February 2026, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm in the Faculty Hall, IISc, to bring together IISc researchers with an interest in this area and develop an academic and research agenda. This workshop aims to help achieve some of the following outcomes:
Identify common interests in artificial intelligence (AI) and science among IISc faculty, to foster partnership in addressing grand challenge problems
To create an IISc-wide programme for research in AI and science
To create national initiative/s in this general area
To explore industry collaboration with IISc in the field of AI and science
To form an IISc-wide working group on curriculum/courses, which would focus on repurposing existing courses/programmes at IISc and launching new courses/programmes at the intersection of AI and science
The workshop schedule can be accessed from the menu bar at the top.
We hope to see you there at the workshop. We are thankful to the Kotak-IISc AI/ML Centre (KIAC) at IISc for financially supporting the workshop.
