AIKG-SD 2026: AI for Research
NFDI4DataScience and the AIX Lab at Leuphana University Lüneburg are hosting their third summer school on Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Graphs for Scholarly Data. Join us for two days (noon-to-noon) of interesting discussions and insights, networking, and summer vibes on the beautiful Leuphana campus.
Under the theme "AI for Research", the third edition of AIKG‑SD focuses on building trustworthy, explainable, and reproducible AI‑driven research tools. Besides, it covers the overarching role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Knowledge Graphs (KGs) in the scholarly landscape, particularly on integrating AI solutions with domain‑specific KGs and curated scholarly data to support researchers throughout the research lifecycle.
Objectives:
Showcase AI and KGs in action across disciplines.
Build Practical Skills: Offer hands-on sessions to enable participants to apply AI techniques to their own datasets and research questions.
Promote Trustworthy and Responsible AI for Research: Address challenges in explainability, reproducibility, transparency, bias, and data governance across AI‑driven scholarly systems.
Foster Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Create a collaborative environment where researchers from diverse fields can exchange ideas, share experiences, and explore synergies in AI‑ and KG‑driven research.
We invite early-stage researchers to present their work related to AI for Research as posters, with a chance of winning a Best Paper Award. Find the CFP (Call for Participation). Please note that participation in the summer school is only possible if you are invited to present a poster.

Keynote Speaker
Keynote Speaker
We are happy to announce that Dr. Angelie Kraft will be joining us at Leuphana University Lüneburg this September for the third edition of our summer school: AI for Research.
As the Research Group Lead of the "Digitalization and Opening up Science" research group at the Weizenbaum Institute, Angelie Kraft is an interdisciplinary researcher in natural language processing (#NLP) and #AI ethics, with training in computer science and psychology.
In an era where AI is rapidly transforming the scholarly landscape, Angelie Kraft's interdisciplinary perspective on the epistemological and ethical dimensions of AI is more critical than ever. Her keynote will challenge us to look beyond the "black box" and consider how we can build more transparent, equitable, and rigorous research processes.

Hands-On Session Lead
Hands-On Session Lead
We are excited to announce that Dr. Allard Oelen, Postdoctoral Researcher at TIB and Frontend Lead for the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG), will lead a hands-on session at this year's AIKG-SD summer school!
Allard Oelen work focuses on designing and developing user interfaces that enable researchers to create and interact with scholarly knowledge. Allard Oelen combines full-stack development with a strong emphasis on modern frontend technologies and user-centered design.
We are happy to announce Prof. Dr. Oliver Genschow as a keynote speaker for AIKG-SD 2026 at Leuphana University Lüneburg. As a Professor of Cognitive, Social, and Economic Psychology, he brings a profound understanding of how humans interact both with each other and with the systems they build.
Prof. Dr. Oliver's research into perception-action coupling and automatic imitation provides a unique lens through which we can view AI development. As we build AI that mimics human reasoning and handles scholarly data, understanding the underlying psychological processes of imitation and social norms is more relevant than ever.
