Register to attend Join us on Thursday, 30 April for an AI & Data Science Seminar. Dr Hazrat Ali of University of Stirling presents Generative AI for Medical Computer Vision Abstract Before synthetic data became popular, data scarcity was considered a major bottleneck in training AI (deep learning) models for medical imaging. Generative AI enabled the AI research ... Read more
SCONE is the SCOttish Networking Event – an informal gathering of networking and systems researchers in and around Scotland. The goal of these meetings is to foster interaction between researchers from our various institutions. Each meeting will take place over the course of an afternoon, and feature:
talks from PhD students
talks from faculty, postdocs and industrial researchers
discussions of possible funding opportunities
food and drink
Software engineering students are often well prepared to think about implementation and delivery, but less often asked to reason about value, prioritisation, uncertainty, and strategic trade-offs. In this talk, I will present the pedagogical design of CS5034, a Master's-level module in Software Product and Project Management at the University of St Andrews, and reflect on how it was used to reshape the student experience around product judgement rather than delivery alone.
Register to attend Join us on Wednesday 27 May for an AI & Data Science Seminar. Vilém Zouhar of EHT Zurich presents Theory and Practice of Efficient Evaluation Science without evaluation is limited to blind exploration, though good evaluation comes at a cost. In this session, we first cover basics of annotation protocols. We then build ... Read more
Scotland has a particularly high concentration of research groups working in the AI subfield of computational argumentation. Scottish Argumentation Day has previously been attended by researchers based both in Scotland and further afield, and has enabled the Scottish argumentation community to present their work in an informal setting, share feedback, and strengthen professional links. SAD began with Aberdeen 2011, and most recently took place in Edinburgh 2024.
In continuing this series, our aim is threefold: (i) enable Scottish argumentation researchers, and especially PhD students, to mutually present their work; (ii) affirm Scottish argumentation research as a recognisable presence; (iii) provide a concrete opportunity for Scottish researchers to network.
Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed ...

EASE is an internationally leading venue for academics and practitioners to present and discuss their research on evidence-based software engineering, and its implications for software practice. EASE is ranked as A conference in CORE. The 30th edition of EASE will take place in Glasgow, Scotland.
EASE 2026 welcomes high-quality submissions, describing original and unpublished research for the following tracks: full research papers, short papers & emerging results, industry, posters & vision, journal-first, and a doctoral symposium. There will also be co-located events, including workshops and tutorials, and a track planned for journal-first presentations.

Registration for the 10th Symposium and Summer School on Computational Interaction will open 1 February and close 14 March 2026.
View programme, event details and registration process at S³CIX 2026.
This year S³CIX is expanding from a Summer School format to also include a 4 day long academic Symposium. We anticipate about 30 students and 40 academics and invited speakers to attend. There will also be two workshops.
Computational interaction often involves elements from machine learning, signal processing, information theory, optimisation, inference, control theory and formal modelling.
The 2026 edition of SPLV will be held at the University of Glasgow, with the main courses running from within the Gilbert Scott Building. The school is aimed at PhD students in programming languages, verification and related areas. Researchers and practitioners are welcome, as are strong undergraduate and masters students with the support of a supervisor. Participants should have a background in computer science, mathematics or a related discipline. Prospective students may contact the organisers if they have any concerns about background knowledge.
Research Innovation Scotland are pleased to announce the 2026 call for our International Collaboration Fund will open on 7th September. The ICF is open to researchers from any discipline at any Scottish university, providing grants up for £5k to fund collaborations with European research partners. SICSA Director Tim Storer will host an online briefing session ... Read more
The School is organised as an in-person event hosted at the University of Glasgow (Gilmorehill campus). It is structured around six thematic strands that combine foundational perspectives with practical approaches to Informatics Education Research. Two themes focus on general methodological foundations, covering both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The remaining themes emphasise the design, implementation, and ... Read more
