Austrian Academy of Sciences

In 2024, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, whose AI model Alpha Fold 2 helped solve a 50-year old scientific problem: protein folding. This discovery shows how #ArtificialIntelligence is already changing science ✨ With the #AITHYRA Institute, the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the non-profit Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation aim to contribute to the next breakthroughs in AI and biomedicine.

✨ Quantum Physics: From Basic Research to Application ✨ The Austrian Academy of Sciences supports promising researchers in the field of quantum physics and beyond to take a step towards entrepreneurship, following in the footsteps of successful OeAW spin-offs such as ParityQC and AQT Alpine Quantum Technologies. In order to take that leap, the Quantum innovation lab by univie innovation is just the place to start: It is a Quantum entrepreneurship bootcamp coordinated by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, INiTS | Vienna's High-Tech Incubator, Institute of Science and Technology Austria , Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Technische Universität Wien, Universität Innsbruck, Universität Wien, VCQ Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology, and xista innovation. It gives quantum physicists the tools and resources for commercialising their research. October, 11 is QTech Day 2024, when this years’ participants will pitch their spin-off ideas to a panel of experts. Good luck! 🍀                  Learn more ➡ https://lnkd.in/dAmu_5pa

From skin cancer diagnoses to weather forecasts ⛈ Artificial Intelligence is already changing science in many areas. In a survey conducted by the journal Nature last year, 1600 scientists stated what positive effects they expect AI to have on research, such as the opportunity to analyse data more quickly, to save time and money, to make new discoveries and solve complex scientific questions 💡 The new #AITHYRA Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, funded by the German non-profit Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation for the next 12 years, aims to achieve revolutionary progress in biomedicine with the help of AI.
