"Atoms, not just bytes" - AI4Science Hackathon @ Merantix AI Berlin

Join us for a hands-on hackathon at the frontier of AI for chemistry and materials science, firmly grounded in the physical world. Co-organized by Dunia Innovations, Cusp AI, Triptree Systems, and Merantix, this event challenges participants to transcend purely digital simulations by working with real experimental data, laboratory workflows, and physical systems. Dive into Physical AI: building models and tools that interact with, learn from, and accelerate real-world scientific discovery.

AI researchers, data scientists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers passionate about bridging AI with physical experimentation.

Teams collaborate in intensive hacking sessions, tackling challenges with real-world data and tools, followed by demos, feedback, and networking.
