On 3 November 2026, Constructor University hosted the SCIANCE expert workshop “Interdisciplinary Cooperation in AI-Enabled Science” in Bremen, Germany.
The workshop addressed two pressing questions. How is AI changing the way scientists from different disciplines work together? And what would help them cooperate effectively in this new reality?
Experts from research, research infrastructures and research policy discussed the challenges, opportunities and changes that AI brings to interdisciplinary work. They tested these against their own experience, identified gaps, proposed unconventional ideas and agreed on the issues that need the most attention.
A wider community consultation will follow to test and refine the proposed priorities. The outcomes will contribute to the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and to RAISE – piloted by SCIANCE, the Resource for AI Science in Europe.
Many thanks to all participants for their time, expertise and open discussion!
