AstroAI Asian Network (A³ Net)

The AstroAI Asian Network (A³ Net) aims to educate students and researchers on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) methods for astrophysics, with a focus on building a network in Asia.

We will hold our third summer school from August 24-28, 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan (ROC), hosted by LeCosPA (NTU) and ASIAA. This one-week program targets students and early-career researchers and 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.

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