Description

The NeIC All-hands meeting (AHM) is an annual event at NeIC where people working in NeIC's activities come together across projects and teams. The aim of these events is to give the personnel a chance to get to know other people working on e-infrastructure in the Nordics so that we can connect and learn from each other. 

The intended participants of the internal All-hands meeting are project teams and managers, members of the Executive team, coordinators of pre-studies and affiliate as well as extended affiliate projects, NeIC's Strategic committee, the Nordic Tier-1 team, and members of the Steering and Reference groups. Accommodation and travel costs will be covered fully by NeIC for project teams and managers, and members of the Executive team.* 

If you are engaged in a NeIC project and not sure whether you should participate, please contact your NeIC project manager or Vilma directly. 

* Accommodation is already booked for NeIC personnel at hotel Scandic CPH Strandpark. If you do not wish to accept the pre-booked accommodation, booking accommodation by yourself is of course possible. See 'Practical information' for more details, and pick the right alternatives when registering.

      Workshop: Ethical AI in Assisted Coding Ballroom 1

      Ballroom 1

      Scandic CPH Strandpark

      Floor 1

      This workshop introduces how generative AI tools can support coding and research workflows. We will explore different approaches to AI-assisted coding, from chat-based assistance to IDE integration and autonomous coding agents, while discussing their benefits, limitations, and potential risks. The focus will be on using these tools effectively and responsibly, with attention to code quality, safety, and research integrity.

      No prior experience with AI coding tools is required, but familiarity with programming would be helpful. We will let you know if any additional preparation is needed.

      Teachers: Hossein Firooz (sick), Bahareh Tasdighi & Thomas Pfau
