Warsaw and Berlin Researchers Strengthen Connections Across ELLIS

Researchers from ELLIS Unit Warsaw and ELLIS Unit Berlin gathered in Berlin on 4-5 November 2026 for a two-day workshop dedicated to scientific exchange and developing connections between the two research communities. The meeting brought together established and early-career researchers, offering an opportunity to learn about ongoing work and explore potential areas of collaboration.

The programme was structured around presentations from both Units. On the first day, researchers from Warsaw introduced their research at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Berlin. The Embassy provided conference facilities and supported in organizing the event, helping create a welcoming setting for the exchange. On the second day, the workshop continued at Google AI Center Berlin, where researchers from ELLIS Unit Berlin presented their work. This format gave participants time to become familiar with the expertise represented at each Unit and discuss connections between their respective research interests.

The scientific programme covered topics including AI for medical diagnostics, computer vision, complex systems analysis, computational psychiatry, and geomatics. Presentations prompted discussions about research approaches and the application of machine learning across different scientific domains. Alongside the formal sessions, informal conversations allowed participants to exchange ideas, establish new contacts, and consider opportunities for continued cooperation. By bringing the two communities together, the workshop helped strengthen relationships that can support future scientific exchange within the ELLIS network.
