SUMMARY:IRONMAN or Fe-Male: resources for All of Us
DESCRIPTION:Resources are the building blocks of science – and indeed of any human endeavour. \n\n\n\nThe most obvious type of resource in science is funding: grants\, scholarships\, and other financial support used to carry out research and to cover necessary materials and equipment. However\, resources extend far beyond financial means. In science\, resources also include people (human resources)\, the atmosphere they create\, the opportunities they provide\, and the support they offer — whether at the level of the individual\, the research group\, the institution\, the region\, or the country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event aims to bring together scientists and those who are interested in – and invested in – scientific progress: people of all genders\, across a wide range of positions and life situations. Only through such diversity can discussions be truly impactful and authentic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for IRONMAN of Fe-MALE: Resources for All of Us\, an engaging session dedicated to exploring resources and opportunities in the world of science and innovation. This event brings together voices from academia\, industry\, and international institutions to discuss the evolving landscape for both men and women\, parents and non-parents\, in the Czech Republic and also abroad. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event will be conducted in English\, and we warmly welcome all participants\, regardless of professional background. To make sure everything goes smoothly\, we kindly ask you to REGISTER (find the registration tab on this page). \n\n\n\nThere will be a children’s zone available on-site where the main programme is going to be streamed. You can thus bring your children with you and keep an eye on them. If you wish to use this service\, please indicate so in the registration form. \n\n\n\nThe event is co-organised by RICAIP and GlaCerHub and will be held under the auspices of Brno City Mayor\, JUDr. Markéta Vaňková. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Programme\n\n\n\nPART I. \n\n\n\n\n9:00-9:10 Introduction & Welcome Speech by Radimír Vrba\, CEITEC BUT Director\n\n\n\n9:10-9:30 Keynote Speech by Pavla Hubálková (15 + 5 minutes)\n\n\n\n9:30-9:45 Presentation by Julian Petersen (10 + 5 minutes)\n\n\n\n9:45-10:05 Presentation Michaela Vojníková & Ludmila Kvašňovská (15 + 5 minutes)\n\n\n\n\n10:05 – 10:30 COFFEE BREAK \n\n\n\n\n10:30-10:45 Presentation by Peter Fabian (10 + 5 minutes)\n\n\n\n10:45-11:00 Presentation by Eva Muchová (10 + 5 minutes)\n\n\n\n\nPART II. \n\n\n\n\n11:00-11:30 Panel Discussion – moderated by Pavla Hubálková\n\n\n\n\nJakub Rybář\, Representative for Science Communication and Talent Development\, Ministry of Education\, Youth and Sports \n\n\n\nMiloš Šifalda\, Director\, JCMM \n\n\n\nIveta Šimberová\, Vice-Rector for HR and Internationalisation\, Brno University of Technology \n\n\n\nBlanka Collis\, Equal Opportunities Officer\, IOCB Prague \n\n\n\n\n11:30-12:30 WALKING LUNCH\, informal discussions & networking

This process is accelerated as data infrastructures evolve into algorithmic intelligence and materialize into autonomous and robotic systems operating within human social environments. The event will bring together researchers\, R&D staff\, policymakers\, funders\, and interested members of the public to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue on these developments. Particular attention will be devoted to how AI-based technologies are reshaping knowledge production\, governance\, and responsibility in the age of data sharing (open science) and autonomous systems (e.g.\, self-driving laboratories). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn particular\, the conference highlights RICAIP’s contributions to autonomous systems in research infrastructures. Tilman Becker\, Director of RICAIP\, will present how advanced robotic and AI-enabled laboratories are reshaping research workflows\, emphasizing the interplay between data infrastructures\, automation\, and AI-driven experimentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event is organized by the OP JAK AMULET project\, The Czech Academy of Sciences\, CIIRC CTU\, with the support of the RICAIP\, ROBOPROX\, and ELLIOT projects\, under the auspices of the Academic Council of the Czech Academy of Sciences and with the patronage of the President of the CAS and in cooperation with The AI: Artificial Intelligence for Science and Society programme\, ACADEMIX\, TAH – Centre for Innovations in Technology\, Art\, and Humanities and the Open Science Department—Library of the CAS  Media partners are The Vědavýzkum.cz portal\, the Vesmír magazine\, Academix revue.Social context of developing technologies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n8:30–9:00Participant registration & Welcome Coffee9:00–9:20Opening & Welcome RemarksRepresentative of the Scientific Council of the CAS and Vladimír Mařík (CIIRC CTU)9:20–10:45Science for AI and AI for ScienceDiscussion with Martin Víta (CAS)\, Jan Šedivý (CIIRC CTU)\, Barbara Zitová (Charles University).[We will add more guests soon.]10:45–11:15Coffee Break11:15–12:30The Continuum Linking Data\, AI\, and Autonomous SystemsShort presentations & discussion moderated by Alena Nováková (CIIRC CTU):Tilman Becker – RICAIP (CIIRC)Zdeněk Hanzálek – OP JAK ROBOPROX (CIIRC CTU)Petr Kadera – Intelligent Systems Department (CIIRC CTU)Vladimír Petrik – ELLIOT project (CIIRC CTU)12:30–13:30Lunch13:30–15:30From Research Labs and Offices to Semantic Web and Self-Driving SystemsKeynote speakers: Patrick Lambrix (Uni Linkoping)\, Maciej Haranczyk (IMDEA Madrid)Panel discussion chaired by Marek Cebecauer\, including keynote speakers and:Michal Tarana (HIPC) – From lab desk to the repository – and Knowledge GraphsJan Kočí (TUL) – FAIR Data for industryJakub Klímek (UK) – Semantic puzzle for 21. century15:30–16:00Coffee Break16:00–17:20Responsible Research and Data Production in the Age of AIDiscussion moderated by Tereza Stöckelová (CAS):Lukáš Kačena (Government Commissioner for Artificial Intelligence – Czech Republic\, prg.ai)\,Michaela Liegertová (UJEP & TAH)\, Jan Zeman (Vice-Rector for Science\, Research and Doctoral Studies CTU)\, Jaroslav Anděl (curator\, conceptual artist)[We will add more guests soon.]17:20–17:30 Closing RemarksPatrik Španěl (CAS) and Ondřej Velek (CIIRC CTU)17:30–20:00Networking ReceptionA selection from Jaroslav Anděl’s exhibition AI & PREDECESSORS – Between Facts and Values will be installed on site.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPartners

industry and public stakeholders?European relevance and scalability beyond the RICAIP consortium – new model of RICAIP Centre and INNOBRIDGETransition from a time-limited project to a sustainable collaboration platform\, where RICAIP Centre acts as:a European platform for shared IPR and licensing\, a single access point for industry\, a trusted structure for cross-border collaborationand INNOBRIDGE acts as:a mechanism to mature technologies and reduce risk\, a bridge between research\, startups and established industryExpected outcomes:Shared vision of the post-RICAIP collaboration
