Description

We are delighted to invite you to the 3rd International Workshop on AI + Astronomy: Models, Data, Discovery. Over four days, we will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the field of astronomy. Building on the success of our first workshop in Hangzhou, China, and the second in Lausanne, Switzerland, we are proud to return to Hangzhou for this third edition.

The workshop will highlight the transformative role of large-scale AI models in enabling data-intensive scientific discovery.

The program will feature plenary and parallel sessions covering:

  • Advances in AI and large models for astronomy
  • Applications to spectral surveys, imaging, and time-domain data
  • Computing, simulations, and data-intensive astronomy
  • Instrumentation and frontier technologies
  • International collaboration and open science

The main workshop will be held from 19 -22 Oct 2026 at the Zhejiang Lab in Hangzhou, China. Hosted by Zhejiang Lab in collaboration with EPFL Laboratory of Astrophysics. Leading scholars will gather to exchange ideas and explore the latest progress and future directions at the intersection of AI and astronomy.
