ELLIS Doctoral Symposium 2026: Trustworthy AI
📅 Monday, 27 July 2026 → Thursday, 30 July 2026 in 14 days
Four-day ELLIS doctoral symposium in Lisbon on Trustworthy AI, with eight keynotes spanning safety theory, causality, social robotics and medical imaging.
The ELLIS Doctoral Symposium gathers up to 200 PhD students and postdocs from across the ELLIS network for four days on the theme of Trustworthy AI. It runs at Instituto Superior Técnico immediately after the Lisbon Machine Learning School at the same venue, so many attendees do both.
Eight keynotes are confirmed: Isabel Valera (Saarland) on trustworthy and robust foundational AI; Asja Fischer (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) on the theory and safety of deep learning models; Gustau Camps-Valls (Valencia) on the causality of climate events; Desmond Elliott (Copenhagen) on multilingual and multimodal processing; André Martins (IST) on multilingual translation; Ana Paiva (INESC-ID/IST) on social robotics; João Santinha (Champalimaud Foundation) on medical imaging; and Pedro Bizarro (Feedzai) on trustworthy AI in finance.
Registration is closed for everyone. The second round — the one open to students outside the ELLIS network — opened on 4 May and closed on 31 May 2026, with final payment due 15 June. The fee was €150. The ELLIS listing page shows only the first-round deadline and can mislead on this point.
