The AIoTwin consortium met in Vienna from May 6–9, 2025 for the plenary meeting, where they reviewed the project's progress and discussed the next steps. Alongside the plenary sessions, participants attended a talk, a tutorial, and a workshop, each aimed at enhancing their knowledge and supporting collaboration.
The meeting kicked off with a dedicated PhD student roundtable, fostering dialogue and exchange among PhD candidates within the consortium. This session provided a platform for emerging researchers to discuss their work and engage with fellow researchers.
On the second day, participants took part in an Innovation Management Workshop organized by TU Wien's Innovation Incubation Center (I2C), with Alexandra Negoescu leading the session. The workshop concentrated on strategies for translating academic research into practical applications, offering valuable insights into innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology transfer. Later in the day, Prof. Schahram Dustdar delivered a talk on “The Art and Science of Writing Publishable Research”, offering guidance on navigating the paper publishing process.
The day concluded with a tutorial on "Autonomous Orchestration of Computing Continuum Systems through Active Inference", presented by Boris Sedlak (TUW). The session provided practical knowledge, enhancing participants’ understanding of these emerging technologies.
The final two days were dedicated to plenary sessions, during which consortium members presented updates on work packages, shared progress, and engaged in discussions.
The consortium will be meeting soon again, in Split, Croatia, for the third and final AIoTwin Summer School, co-located with the SpliTech Conference. Find out how to participate here.
