Objectives
The UD AI Symposium will be held on Sept 25-26 at the University of Delaware. This 1.5-day event serves two purposes:
- Bring all AI-relevant researchers at UD together and have a better understanding of our strengths.
- Form up to three focused areas/teams for external funding opportunities.
More specifically, we seek to facilitate building teams, including external collaborators, to respond to the recent NSF AI Research Institute solicitations.
If you are interested and available to attend the symposium, please RSVP by August 24, 2023.

The symposium will take place at UD Courtyard Marriott (Main room: Salon C, Breakout rooms: Salons B&C).
