Participation & Application
Participation in the AISSAI Hackathon is curated to ensure high-quality collaboration across disciplines and experience levels.
Rather than selecting “the best” profiles, the organizing committee assembles balanced teams with complementary skills in accelerator physics, AI/ML, and HPC.
This means that a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels are actively encouraged.
Submitting an application therefore expresses your interest in participating; final participation depends on how we can best compose coherent and diverse teams across the different challenge tracks.
Application process
- Complete the online application form
- The scientific committee reviews applications and builds balanced teams
- Notifications are sent approximately 2 weeks after the deadline
- Accepted participants confirm attendance via a short letter of commitment and receive onboarding details
Fees
Participation is free of charge.
There is no registration fee for accepted participants.
A letter of commitment is requested to ensure full participation throughout the week, as the event relies on team continuity and engagement.
Grants
A limited number of travel and accommodation grants are available.
These may cover:
- Travel expenses (train, plane, or car)
- Accommodation at Les Domaines de Gaston for the full duration of the event
Priority is given to PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists.
Grant requests can be indicated directly in the application form.
We strongly encourage applications from diverse backgrounds — including candidates who may not meet every listed skill area.
