Dear distinguished AI Professor or Senior Scientist (PhD holder),

the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA) aims to become a reference initiative for AI education in Europe and implement mechanisms for inter-university sharing of AI educational assets at PhD-level. As part of the program, AIDA offers a series of courses on Artificial Intelligence and related fields given by distinguished lecturers.
