ML4SCIENCE & ENGINEERING SUMMER SCHOOL

Machine Learning Summer School Logo

The Inductiva Machine Learning for Science & Engineering Summer School was designed for researchers, engineers, and professionals eager to explore the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applied to science and engineering.

The Program

The 5-day, exclusive invite-only program held May 19–23, 2025 at FEUP (The Engineering Faculty of the University of Porto), deep dived into state-of-the-art ML techniques and their transformative impact across various scientific fields (Computational Fluid Dynamics [CFD] were a key focus, but broader applications in engineering and scientific computing were explored). The program combined Open Sessions, Hands-on Sessions, and Theoretical Sessions, ensuring a holistic learning experience.
This initiative was sponsored by AptWind, an EU-funded project under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) within Horizon Europe. AptWind's goal is to train a new generation of innovative, industry-oriented researchers capable of addressing current and future challenges in atmospheric flow physics and turbulence for wind energy applications.

This edition of the Summer School welcomed a diverse group of 34 students, representing 19 nationalities, fostering a highly interdisciplinary environment. Participants came from both leading industry organizations and top European universities, forming a uniquely interdisciplinary cohort.

Industry organizations included:

  • EDF Energy
  • EMD International A/S
  • Enercon

Academic institutions represented included:

  • Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (UOL)
  • Engineering Faculty of the University of Porto (FEUP)
  • Science Faculty of the University of Porto (FCUP)

What people said about us

Well, the organization team did a great job, I mean, communications, food, schedules, classes, everything was great!

Thank you for the opportunity to showcase and share with others what I've been focusing on the past year! It was an invaluable experience :)

I really enjoyed the event. I have been in some conferences and summer schools and this event was one of the best organized I have been

Amazing organization and casting for the presentation! I feel privileged to have been able to participate to this event, despite my lacking knowledge about AI in general

Thank you so much for the experience, it was really good and at the same time quite informal and educational. Thank you!
