ESSAI is the largest school of broad AI in Europe, offering courses in all areas of Artificial Intelligence and from a wide range of perspectives. Its thematic scope is analogous to major AI conferences like ECAI, IJCAI and AAAI, covering all AI subdisciplines and their interconnections. ESSAI is a central meeting place for AI students and young researchers to deepen their knowledge, broaden their perspectives, discuss current research, and build connections with other researchers.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">*Location*<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The fourth edition of ESSAI will be held in Vienna, a city where history and innovation walk side by side. Home to world-renowned universities and research centers, Vienna has inspired great thinkers for centuries—think of Erwin Schrödinger, Lise Meitner, Sigmund Freud, Kurt Gödel, Ludwig Wittgenstein, or the Vienna Circle. Today, Vienna continues to welcome students, scholars, and curious minds from around the globe. Vienna awaits you with world-class culture, groundbreaking science, and cozy coffee houses—all in a city celebrated for its quality of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">*Invitation to Submit a Course Proposal*<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome leading AI researchers to submit course proposals for inclusion in this school, which provides a uniquely stimulating teaching environment. We expect to welcome around 400 students with diverse backgrounds, who can choose courses from parallel tracks in order to deepen their understanding of familiar AI disciplines, dive into new ones, and discover new interdisciplinary research areas combining different AI approaches. The lecturers of the selected courses will be invited to join the school’s academic and social program and enjoy an exciting summer week in beautiful Vienna.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">*Important Dates*<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">* December 3 (AoE), 2025: Deadline for submitting a course proposal<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">* January 21, 2026: Notification of acceptance of course proposals<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">* July 6-10, 2026: Summer school<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">*Topics*<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">ESSAI aims to cover a broad range of AI subdisciplines and the interactions thereof.
