Call for participation - 2025 UQ AI PhD Showcase

The UQ AI Research Network is pleased to announce the 2025 UQ AI PhD Showcase. AI is receiving widespread attention around the world, with breakthrough results in a range of domains generating excitement, speculation and concern about the potential revolutionary impact of AI on economic growth and the future of jobs in the face of automation. At UQ, researchers from across Faculties and Institutes are actively working on the development, application, and implications of AI in a diverse range of disciplines and application domains. This showcase brings an opportunity for UQ experts (academics and students alike) to share knowledge and expertise, and importantly, build our community for exploring synergies and developing collaborations around AI. 

The UQ community is invited to join a two-day catered event on Thursday 26th & Friday 27th June at the St Lucia Campus. The event will include a keynote address, presentations and posters of AI related projects by academics and students, an expert panel discussion, and social networking.
