Mark your calendar! 30.8 - 3.9 2027 - Davos, Switzerland
The program offers a unique blend of inspiring plenary talks, interactive poster sessions, and a dynamic technical side program featuring workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
If you are interested in presenting a poster, please indicate so in the registration form, indicating a tentative title, a list of authors, and an abstract (only for review; will not be published).
The interactive poster sessions will not be parallel with the invited plenaries. The presenters of each poster will have to attend the poster session, which will hopefully stimulate discussions and promote the exchange of ideas.
There are no published proceedings of the summit.
All posters will be entered into the competition to win the best poster award.
Two parallel workshops will take place on Tuesday morning, approximately from 9 to 12.
A workshop intended for PIs and soon-to-be PIs that want to discuss what it takes for excellent multidisciplinary research to flourish. In a series of guided activities, we will look back and share success stories, investigate what made them successful, and distill some instructions on how researchers can shoot at the moon!
The number of seats is limited. A registration link was sent via email.
An ice-breaker open to all CLOCK participants! You'll get to know a bit about the NCCR Automation and use your creativity to imagine what new technologies could emerge - or go rogue!
Open until room capacity is reached.
On Thursday afternoon, we will discuss "Re-thinking research drives" in a round-table and panel discussion session, open to everybody.
We will reflect on who’s deciding what we are researching? and how can we shape research directions? To this end, we will discuss curiosity-driven, society-driven, and industry-driven research paradigms.
After introductory remarks about each paradigm from researchers, we will do a break-out session where all researchers discuss their inputs and questions in groups and prepare for a debate, followed by conclusions and feedback.
No registration is needed.
Wednesday afternoon is reserved to social activities and mingling.
