Innovation Made in Switzerland
Warum ist die Schweiz das innovativste Land der Welt?
Wie schafft es die Schweiz, die Rangliste des Global Innovation Index seit Jahren anzuführen? Eine entscheidende Rolle spielen auf jeden Fall staatliche und kantonale Förderagenturen sowie regionale Denkfabriken. Aber was ist überhaupt eine Innovation und wie wird der Innovationsgrad gemessen? Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer Idee, einer Erfindung und einer Innovation? Und welche unternehmerischen Voraussetzungen braucht «echte» Innovation?

2nd European Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness (EWAF)

The goal of the European Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness (EWAF) is to foster the dialogue between researchers working on algorithmic fairness in the context of Europe’s legal and societal framework, especially in light of the EU’s attempts to promote ethical AI. It is thus a space for researchers to discuss fairness in machine learning with an interdisciplinary perspective related to Europe.

The workshop aims to be highly interdisciplinary. This means that it will connect a variety of fields and perspectives including but not limited to mathematical, philosophical, computer science, legal, psychological, sociological, critical studies and management perspectives.

Workshop on flexible working conditions in STEM

At data innovation alliance, we believe that a team performs better when people from different backgrounds work together. This also requires a framework that meets the needs of different groups of employees.

In our first workshop we want to address the concerns of employees who need more flexibility at work (due to family situation, hobbies or other reasons). This large group of people has to deal with unfavorable political conditions in Switzerland (short parental leave, no individual taxation, insufficient offers for external childcare, poor pension schemes for part-time employees). This makes it all the more important for employers to design working conditions that are advantageous for this group. Especially in the STEM sector, the conditions should actually be favorable.

In an opening presentation, Priska Burkard will share experiences from her work promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM. Through her company Techface, Priska is in intensive exchange with women in tech jobs and knows their concerns and challenges.

In the further course of the workshop, we will specifically compare the perspectives of employees and employers and specifically shed light on the topic of re-entry (e.g. after parental leave).

The workshop is in English and aimed at both decision-makers on the employer side (HR, C-level) and affected (or unaffected) employees.

Data, Documents & Donuts: Structuring Today’s Data With The Experts

Almost every business process contains documents created for the purpose of human collaboration, and which typically contain some form of data.

Think about studies, technical documents, certificates & regulatory compliance, or contracts – unstructured data within them cannot automatically be processed by machines and are hard to be analyzed without unimaginable amounts of manual effort.

Automatically extracting the relevant information from these documents is a challenging task for many reasons, e.g., a convoluted structure of the documents, tables, pictures, and even handwriting.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to leverage expert knowledge on complex document understanding and extraction.

Address: Acodis, Stadthausstrasse 14, 8400 Winterthur (Floor 3)

Preliminary Agenda:

08:45 – Reception & Welcome Coffee/Donuts 
09:00 – Handwriting recognition (20’ + 5′ Q&A)  
09:25 – KPI Extraction from financial reports (20′ + 5′ Q&A)  
09:50 – An applied research approach to table recognition (20′ + 5′ Q&A)
