Europe AI Summer Research 2026: The Finale

Europe AI Summer Research is EuroTech Federation's pan-European programme for early-career AI research. This is the finale: of more than 220 papers submitted over the summer and 150+ reviews by 70 reviewers from universities and labs across Europe, five finalists remain. Each gets three minutes and one poster to present, then five minutes of questions from a technical jury, before the awards. Doors 17:00, presentations from 18:00, winners announced at 20:00, then food, drinks and networking until 22:30 at Albert School in the 10th. Free, but every registration is reviewed. Why go: a rare evening where you see genuinely new AI research before it turns into a company, in one room with the PhD students doing it, industry research leads, and investors hunting technical talent. Best for researchers and anyone recruiting or backing them.
