XLV Annual School 2026 – Generative Artificial Intelligence for Bioengineering
20.04 2026
The GNB XLV Annual School 2026 – Generative Artificial Intelligence for Bioengineering will be held in Brixen (Italy) from 7th to 10th September 2026.
The school focuses on the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Bioengineering research and education. Generative AI is increasingly influencing data analysis, biological modeling, experimental design, and scientific communication, offering new opportunities while also posing methodological, ethical, and responsibility-related challenges.
The main objective of the school is to explore the use of Generative AI in Bioengineering through a critical and rigorous methodological perspective. The program is not intended to teach the development of new AI models, but rather to promote awareness of the potential, limitations, and implications of these technologies when applied to Bioengineering research.
The school is primarily addressed to PhD students and early-career researchers, and aims to provide a 360-degree overview of Generative AI in Bioengineering, supporting responsible and informed integration of these tools into scientific practice.
