Join us for an introductory webinar exploring how agentic AI is being applied in the life sciences, presented by members of the ELIXIR IMPACT project, a Czech–Swiss collaboration (funded by the Swiss Czech Cooperation Programme) building new solutions that connect molecular, pathogen and clinical data through cutting-edge AI technologies.
In this session, colleagues from across the project will share their perspectives on the technological side of agentic AI: how autonomous research agents, APIs, hosting infrastructure, and secure handling of sensitive data all come together to support biomedical research.
• When: 12 October 2026 at 14:00 CEST
• Duration: 1 hour
• Where: Online (link to follow upon registration)
Whether you are curious about the possibilities of agentic AI or already working with these tools, this session offers a practical, grounded look at where the technology stands today, and a preview of future webinars, including an open call for project partners to present their own work.
