ARCHIMEDES proudly supports the European Summer School on Artificial Intelligence (ESSAI), the premier school on Artificial Intelligence in Europe. The School is held every year by theEuropean Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI)together with the Advanced Course on Artificial Intelligence (ACAI), and it will be organized jointly with the 4thTAILORSummer School on Artificial Intelligence.
The local organization of ESSAI & ACAI 2024 is led by theArtificial Intelligence Teamof theDept. of Informatics and Telecommunications of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in collaboration with theHellenic Artificial Intelligence Society.
ESSAI 2024 will offer many courses covering all areas of Artificial Intelligence and being taught by top experts in the field. Every course will consist of 5 lectures of 90 minutes each spread over one week. The courses will be solicited through an open call for proposals and will be selected by an international program committee. ACAI 2024 will offer invited tutorials (of 2x90min each) on a topic to be announced.
ESSAI & ACAI 2024 continue a tradition started by ACAI in 1985. Last year,ESSAI & ACAI took place in Lublijana, Slovenia. It was an immensely successful event which attracted more than 500 students.

To position Greece as a leading player in AI and Data Science
To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world
Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
The Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) is a major annual conference for researchers in natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. It has been organized by the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest Group on Data (SIGDAT) since 1996 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
