SUMMARY:Darmstadt Science & Technology Day
DESCRIPTION:Darmstadt is a city of science and research\, where numerous public research institutions meet companies with significant research departments. The first Science & Technology Day aims to bring together leading players in science and technology based in Darmstadt. \n\nExchange of key players\nThis informal gathering is designed to foster exchange on existing research areas and available technologies\, with the goal of identifying potential opportunities for collaboration. Synergies will be created\, and valuable connections established. The gathering of key players in science and technology helps to enhance the visibility of Darmstadt‘s research landscape and regional value chains. It connects people and institutions\, facilitates the exchange of expertise\, and enables the shared use of technology. The Science & Technology Day can thus serve as a catalyst for initiating joint research projects.\nThis platform for exchange will be enriched by inspiring keynote speeches\, engaging discussions\, and interactive round-table sessions on topics such as collaboration\, open innovation\, responsible research and sustainable development. Presentations of science and technology projects with high collaboration potential will provide a solid foundation for exploring concrete forms of cooperation. \nThe event is addressed to scientists and engineers from public research institutions\, established corporations with significant R&D activities\, and the start-up scene in Darmstadt and the surrounding areas.

SUMMARY:Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Market Regulation
DESCRIPTION:The Frankfurt Competence Center for German and Global Regulation (FCCR) and Universität Göttingen are hosting this conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and market regulation. Day one is dedicated to the technical development and regulatory reaction. Day two is about two specific challenges of protecting competition. One is the potential conflict between competition and industrial-policy interests\, the other one the need to keep markets open despite the concentrated control of key inputs and risks that incumbents entrench or extend their existing power. The second panel on day one is organized in cooperation with Vereinigung für das gesamte Regulierungsrecht\, the second day is the annual on-site event of the German ASCOLA Chapter. \nThe conference takes place at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and is sponsored by hessian.AI as part of the “Transfer- und Community-building” program.

SUMMARY:ATHENE Future Forum "AI and Cybersecurity"
DESCRIPTION:The digital revolution is transforming our way of life as fundamentally as the industrial revolution once did. In a very short time\, AI has evolved from a niche technology in computer science to the central key technology of digitalization. Cybersecurity\, in turn\, is one of the essential prerequisites for responsible digitalization. Both technologies – AI and cybersecurity – are closely interconnected. AI creates new security risks\, ranging from automated attacks and fraud to deepfakes\, but it also offers new opportunities in the fight against cybercrime\, cognitive attacks\, and disinformation. \nHow can we design AI to be both responsible and secure? What political and technological frameworks are needed for a resilient digital society? What roles should politics\, industry\, and research take on to make AI safe and practical for all of us? These questions are at the heart of our Future Forum. \nExperts from politics\, industry\, and research will engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue on AI and cybersecurity – join us! \nParticipation is free of charge\, but registration is required. \nThe event is organized by ATHENE\, supported by hessian.AI and DFKI.

SUMMARY:Workshop hessian.AI.literacy
DESCRIPTION:The EU AI Act requires providers and deployers of AI systems to ensure that their employees and contracted third parties have a sufficient level of AI Literacy (Art. 4 AI Act). In doing so\, EU legislators are not only formulating a regulatory requirement\, but also a socio-political mandate to promote AI literacy. The hessian.AI.literacy project is investigating the specific implications this has for the organizational context and how the legal requirements can be implemented effectively and efficiently. The findings will serve as practical guidance and will be made available to the general public. Through this initiative\, hessian.AI is making an essential contribution to the legally compliant implementation of the AI Regulation and to the sustainable strengthening of AI competence in business and public institutions. \nThe initial results will be presented and discussed at a workshop in Frankfurt am Main on September 25\, 2025 (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.). In addition to a keynote speech by Kai Zenner (Head of Office & Digital Policy Adviser\, Axel Voss\, MEP European Parliament)\, you can expect insights from academia and practice. \nProgram: \n10:00 – 10:15 a.m.: Arrival & registration \n10:15 – 10:30 a.m.: Welcome address\nProf. Dr. Nils Urbach – Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences \n10:30 – 11:00 a.m.: Keynote speech\nKai Zenner – Head of Office and Digital Policy Adviser\, MEP Axel Voss (EPP group)\, European Parliament \n11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.: AI competence from a legal perspective\nProf. Dr. Janine Wendt – Technical University of Darmstadt\nProf. Dr. Domenik Wendt – Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences \n11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.: AI competence in practical implementation\nResearch Associate Valentin Mayer – University of Bayreuth\nProf. Dr. Nils Urbach – Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences \n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.: Open discussion\nOpen exchange/experience reports from practice \nFrom 1:00 p.m.: Joint lunch & conclusion
