Nordic AI Meet is a pan-Nordic initiative to bring early career researchers (Doctoral Candidates) from the Nordic countries together on a single platform to exchange research ideas and build collaboration. This year we join hands with Finnish AI Day in Helsinki, which targets additionally Postdoctoral/Senior Researchers apart from Industry experts. 

Finnish AI Day is organized annually by the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI (fcai.fi) along with Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT (hiit.fi) and the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society (stes.fi).

Submission Guidelines

Researchers in the field of AI, Machine Learning, NLP, Robotics and applications of AI are invited to submit a short abstract for their current ongoing research work or past published research or research focus of their ongoing work. The researchers will be selected based on the brief abstract and will be invited to give a short talk or present a poster during the Nordic AI Meet + Finnish AI Day. 

We have two tracks for submission this year. 

a. Doctoral Candidates / Doctoral Researchers - Nordic AI Meet
