AstroAI Asian Network (A³ Net)

The AstroAI Asian Network (A³ Net) promotes education, research, and collaboration in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) for astrophysics and cosmology, with a focus on building a strong regional network across Asia.

A³ Net Summer School

We organize annual summer schools, hosted at member institutes. Targeting students and early-career researchers, this one-week program includes theoretical lectures, hands-on exercises, and collaborative projects. Participants will explore the latest advancements in AI/ML techniques and their applications in solving complex astrophysical problems.

A³ Net summer school 2026 in Taipei will be announced soon!

Past schools:
A³ Net summer school 2025 (Seoul, South Korea)
A³ Net summer school 2024 (Osaka, Japan)

The AstroAI Asian Network Seminar Series (A³NSS)

The AstroAI Asian Network Seminar Series (A³NSS) is a monthly online seminar series that connects A³ Net members and highlights recent advances. The seminar series is held monthly in an online format. Each session features a 30-minute talk, followed by a 30-minute open discussion, designed to encourage in-depth questions, cross-disciplinary exchange, and active participation from researchers at all career stages.
