PRÉSENTATION

Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from research laboratories into real-world environments. The successful deployment of AI systems requires close interaction between algorithmic development, domain expertise, and human decision-making. URAI 2026 explores how AI technologies are created, applied, and co-evolved through human-AI collaboration — across disciplines and application domains.

The TriRhenaTech network of universities plays a crucial role in shaping AI’s responsible future. We particularly welcome submissions that align with the key research strengths of the Universities of Applied Sciences and Arts in the Upper Rhine region, members of TriRhenaTech.

Topics of Interest

We invite theoretical, technical, and applied research contributions addressing (but not limited to) the following areas:

1. AI System Development
· Machine learning models, deep learning, and neural network architectures
· Software engineering for AI: frameworks, tools, and best practices
· MLOps and AI lifecycle management
· AI-assisted software development: automated code generation, debugging, and testing
· AI-driven software engineering processes: requirements engineering, system design, and continuous integration

2. Human-AI Interaction
· Human-in-the-loop systems and decision support
· Hybrid intelligence: integrating human intuition with machine learning
· AI as a creative and collaborative assistant in design, engineering, and the arts
· AI and the Future of Work: human-AI collaboration, new organizational models, skill transformation, and AI-supported work environments

3. AI in Application Domains
· Healthcare & Life Sciences: AI in biotechnology, diagnostics, and patient care, digital health, and preventive healthcare systems
· Industry & Smart Manufacturing: AI in Industry 4.0, automation, and additive manufacturing
· Sustainability & Energy: AI for climate-neutral solutions, decarbonization, smart grids, energy-efficient systems and sustainable infrastructure

4. Responsible and Trustworthy AI
· Transparent, explainable, and trustworthy AI
· AI ethics, bias mitigation, and regulatory compliance
· Cybersecurity and safety in AI-driven environments

Contributions linking AI research with societal transformation in the areas of work, sustainability, and health are particularly encouraged.

Submission Tracks

URAI 2026 offers two submission tracks under the same thematic scope. The primary scientific focus of the symposium lies on original research contributions.

Track 1: Original Research Contributions

This track welcomes original, unpublished research addressing the topics outlined above, e.g. applied research describing implemented AI systems, case studies of AI deployment, human-AI collaboration systems, interdisciplinary research combining AI with domain sciences, or engineering approaches to AI integration.

Submission Process
· Authors submit an extended abstract of 1–2 pages describing their research.
· Based on the evaluation of the extended abstracts, submissions will be accepted or rejected and assigned to either oral presentation or poster presentation.
· Authors of accepted contributions are invited to submit a full paper (maximum 8 pages) for inclusion in the symposium proceedings.
· Full papers undergo a formal and editorial review prior to publication.

Track 2: Journal/Conference-First Contributions

This track invites contributions that have been published within the last 18 months in peer-reviewed journals or international conferences across relevant disciplines. The aim is to increase visibility of high-quality research within the Upper Rhine AI community and foster cross-border exchange.

Submission Process
· Authors submit an extended abstract of 1–2 pages together with a reference to the original publication.
· All extended abstracts undergo a review to ensure relevance and alignment with the symposium theme.
· Based on the evaluation of the extended abstracts, submissions will be accepted or rejected and assigned to either oral presentation or poster presentation.
· No additional full paper is required. Accepted extended abstracts may be included in the symposium proceedings.

Submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. Further information on evaluation criteria, proceedings, and publication details will be announced shortly.
