Opportunites for Junior Members

The MCML offers its junior members valuable initiatives to promote their professional and academic development, as well as to enhance research and collaboration within the community.

Tailored Activities for Junior Members

Besides our regular events, we offer special initiatives including regular meetups, industry pitch talks, which connect our junior members with industry leaders, or MCML workshops to promote research and collaboration. These programs are specifically tailored to foster growth and engagement in the field of machine learning, providing valuable opportunities for junior members to advance their skills and network within the community.

Check out upcoming events below.


Our PhD Coordinators

The PhD Coordinators are the primary contact for all our junior members with questions related to the MCML PhD program. They organize regular transfer activities and community-building events, such as the MCML Pitchtalk events, the PhD Onboarding events, and the MCML Stammtisch. Please feel free to contact our PhD Coordinators at any time on questions related to our program and activities.
