[DMANET] KCDS Summer School on Graph Neural Networks | Sep 21-25, 2026 in Karlsruhe

We are excited to announce the KCDS Summer School on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) taking place at KIT in Karlsruhe from September 21–25, 2026. The program will cover fundamental concepts as well as practical applications of graph-based machine learning for real-world problems. Together with our speakers, we have designed a mix of lectures and hands-on tutorials. They are complemented by opportunities for networking through a conference dinner and a poster session. We are pleased to welcome an outstanding group of speakers: * Jan Stühmer (HITS, KIT) – Introduction to GNNs, including a practical session, and Equivariance as Design Principle in Modern Machine Learning * Ismail Ilkan Ceylan (TU Vienna, AITHYRA) – Graph Foundation Models * Joel Oskarsson (ETH) – GNNs for Spatio-Temporal Modelling and Earth System Modelling * Arghya Bhowmik (DTU) – GNNs for Material Sciences To join us, register by June 30th via: https://indico.kit.edu/e/kcdssummer2026 We look forward to welcoming you!
