Spark Forum

Overview

Research translation is not a final handoff.

SPARK encourages participants to consider stakeholders, values, constraints, reproducibility, and adoption from the beginning of the research lifecycle—not only after the technical work is complete.

The forum is being designed primarily for current and alumni Schmidt AI in Science Fellows from diverse scientific backgrounds and levels of AI experience. Selected collaborators from government, industry, national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, and other sectors may also be invited to contribute practical perspectives and project contexts.

SPARK is neither a conventional conference nor a high-pressure hackathon. It combines a retreat, workshop, community gathering, and supported collaborative prototyping experience.
