Warsaw Meets Berlin: ELLIS Research Workshop

Researchers from ELLIS Unit Warsaw and ELLIS Unit Berlin gathered in Berlin on 4-5 November 2026 for a joint scientific workshop. The two-day event provided an opportunity to present ongoing research, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations between the two ELLIS communities.

The first day took place at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Berlin, where researchers from Warsaw presented their research areas. The Embassy provided conference facilities and supported IDEAS Research Institute in organizing the workshop.

On the second day, participants met at Google AI Center Berlin, where researchers from ELLIS Unit Berlin presented their work. The sessions enabled participants to learn more about each other’s expertise and discuss shared scientific interests.

Presentations and discussions covered a broad range of topics, including AI for medical diagnostics, computer vision, complex systems analysis, computational psychiatry, and geomatics. Alongside the scientific programme, participants had opportunities to establish contacts and strengthen professional relationships across the two Sites.

The workshop contributed to closer ties between ELLIS Unit Warsaw and ELLIS Unit Berlin, laying the groundwork for further scientific exchange and joint research activities within the ELLIS network.

We thank the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Berlin, Google AI Center Berlin, and all speakers and participants for their contributions to the event.
